If your interested in how lipids profiles change in Aiptasia based on symbiosis and life stages/reproductive methods, check out this pre-print I'm working on from my thesis. Reach out if you have questions! doi.org/10.21203/rs.... #lipidomics #Aiptasia #symbiosis #development #corals #reproduction

Abundance and diversity of lipid compounds in Exaiptasia diaphana is altered as a function of symbiotic state and life stage
Scleractinian corals engage in an endosymbiotic relationship with dinoflagellate algae to meet their nutritional demands in oligotrophic waters. Algae transfer photosynthetically-derived compounds to ...

Heterotrophy and symbiosis affect energy reserves for pedal lacerates in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
Nutrient exchange between corals and their dinoflagellate symbionts is the foundation of the stable symbiosis that underpins coral reef ecosystem success. The cnidarian-dinoflagellate holobiont engage...
