Abstract The coral‐algal symbiosis is the biological engine that drives one of most spectacular structures on Earth: coral reef. Here, living microhabitats are engineered using 3D bioprinting, as biomimetic model system symbiosis. Various bioinks for encapsulation photosymbiotic microalgae ( Breviolum psygmophilum ) developed and mass transfer phenomena mimicked by bioprinting tissue skeleton microscale features. At tissue–seawater interface, polyp connective successfully replicate natural...
Calcification in photosynthetic scleractinian corals is a complicated process that involves many different biological, chemical, and physical sub-processes happen within around the coral tissue. Identifying quantifying role of separate processes vivo or vitro difficult not possible. A computational model can facilitate this research by simulating independently. This study presents spatio-temporal calcification physiology, which based on are considered essential for calcification:...
