The effect of temperature and nitrogen deprivation on cell morphology and physiology of Symbiodinium

Nutrients and temperature are the major elements in maintaining stable endosymbiotic relationships. The mechanisms and response of cultured Symbiodinium cells in the absence of nitrogen, and at various temperatures are still unclear. The present study investigated the influence of different temperat...
