Coral symbioses are predicated on the need for mutual nutrient acquisition and translocation between partners. Carbon is well-studied in this classic mutualism, while nitrogen (N) has received comparatively less attention. Quantifying mechanisms dynamics of N assimilation critical to understanding functional ecology coral organisms. Given importance symbiosis holobiont, it important determine what role photosynthetic symbionts play acquisition. We used facultatively symbiotic temperate...
Abstract The symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae is sensitive to environmental stress. oxidative bleaching hypothesis posits that extreme temperatures lead accumulation photobiont-derived reactive oxygen species ROS, which exacerbates coral stress response (ESR). To understand how photosymbiosis modulates ESRs, these responses must be explored in hosts out symbiosis. We leveraged facultatively symbiotic Astrangia poculata , offers an opportunity...
