Estimating the daily contribution of carbon from zooxanthellae to coral animal respiration1
An equation is derived which rigorously defines the photosynthesis: respiration ratio (P:R) for any alga: invertebrate symbiotic association arid permits the computation of the fractional…

The role of symbiotic algae in carbon and energy flux in reef corals
Reef Corals: Mutualistic Symbioses Adapted to Nutrient-Poor Environments
TLDR
The present discussion considers the potential nutritional capabilities of corals as mutualistic symbioses and the extent to which specific organismic and ecological manifestations of these capabilities have been described and quantified.

Resource partitioning by reef corals as determined from stable isotope composition
TLDR
The pattern of resource partitioning vs depth by corals collected in February 1983 from Jamaica and the Red Sea was determined and data suggest that carbon is translocated at all depths and that deep-water corals draw significantly on allocthonous sources of carbon.

The effect of external nutrient resources on the population dynamics of zooxanthellae in a reef coral
TLDR
The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the growth of zooxanthellae in S. pistillata from the Red Sea is nitrogen limited, suggesting that availability of inorganic nitrogen leads to increased protein synthesis in zooxanhellae.

Temperature Stress Causes Host Cell Detachment in Symbiotic Cnidarians: Implications for Coral Bleaching.
TLDR
The detachment and release of intact host cells suggests that thermal stress causes host cell adhesion dysfunction in these cnidarians and provides insight into both the underlying release mechanism and the way in which natural environmental stresses evoke a bleaching response.

Fate of photosynthetic fixed carbon in light- and shade-adapted colonies of the symbiotic coral Stylophora pistillata
TLDR
The total daily flux of photosynthetically fixed carbon in light- and shade-adapted phenotypes of the symbiotic coral, Stylophora pistillata, was quantified and the ‘growth rate’ method emerged as superior to the conventional in vitro and in vivo methods.

Glycerol Excretion by Symbiotic Algae from Corals and Tridacna and Its Control by the Host
  • L. Muscatine

  • 28 April 1967
TLDR
Exretion of glycerol by the algae in situ and its control and utilization by the host may represent a mechanism by which zooxanthellae contribute to produtctivity of coral reefs.

POPULATION CONTROL IN SYMBIOTIC CORALS
TLDR
The topic areas covered include the following: carbon economy in a symbiotic coral; effects of nutrient enrichment; the chemostat model of population control; the effects of exposure to ammonium levels; and the factors which maintain the density of zooxanthellae.

Primary production and photoadaptation in light- and shade-adapted colonies of the symbiotic coral, stylophora pistillata
TLDR
It is shown that light-adapted Stylophora pistillata can acquire all of their basal metabolic carbon through photosynthesis and translocation, but that shade- Adapted St Sylophora colonies growing in shade acquire slightly less than half.
