5/ Some other fun highlights- check out our symbiont capture device- deployed in aquariums and on the reef to catch symbionts expelled from Acropora

4/ we observed putative virion formation in symbionts of bleaching Acropora- we’d love to hear if you’ve seen anything similar in TEMs!

Out today in ISME Journal thru extensive TEM imaging, we show that a diversity of Pacific coral symbionts contain filamentous virus-like particles (fVLPs) see below for highlights
