Photosynthesis and other factors affecting the establishment and maintenance of cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Coral growth depends on the partnership between the animal hosts and their intracellular, photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts. In this study, we used the sea anemone Aiptasia, a laboratory model for coral biology, to investigate the poorly understood ...
