The objective of this thesis was to characterize the response of the cells of a symbiotic Cnidaria, the sea anemone, Anemonia viridis, to extrinsic stresses related to the anthropic pressure of coastal areas, and intrinsic stresses related to the constraints of living in symbiosis. Indeed, the evolutionary success of symbiosis in Cnidaria is...

The cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis is a mutualistic intracellular association based on the photosynthetic activity of the endosymbiont. This relationship involves significant constraints and requires co-evolution processes, such as an extensive capacity of the holobiont to counteract pro-oxidative conditions induced by hyperoxia generated...
