Effects of low-level electric current on the growth of Amphistegina lobifera and its photosynthetic diatom endosymbionts

Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) are key carbonate producers and significantly contribute to carbonate reef sediments. As the ongoing climate change threatens the calcification capacity of many marine organisms, novel approaches are being explored to support reef resilience. Among these, low-voltag...
