Abstract. Marine planktonic Radiolaria harboring symbiotic microalgae are ubiquitous in the oceans and abundant in oligotrophic areas. In these low-nutrien

We are delighted to unveil the winning projects from the 2025 Pure Ocean Call for Projects.

NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.

Abstract. Metabolic exchange is one of the foundations of symbiotic associations between organisms and is a driving force in evolution. In the ocean, photo

The new working group "Photosymbiosis" investigates the coexistence of host animals and algae - the European Research Council provides funding of 1,489,000 eurosRead More

The plastids of photosynthetic organisms on land are predominantly “primary plastids,” derived from an ancient endosymbiosis of a cyanobacterium. Conv…

Symbiont-housing structures are well-studied in multicellular eukaryotes but rarely in unicellular protists. This study shows that low-oxygen-adapted Anaeramoebae have symbiosomes positioning sul...

Background Global warming is causing large-scale disruption of cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbioses fundamental to major marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs. However, the mechanisms by which heat st...

Photosymbioses enable efficient nutrient recycling between heterotrophic and phototrophic organisms. This study shows that nutrient cycling in a cnidarian-algal symbiosis is regulated through resource...

Many researchers are exploring high-tech ways to help reefs survive the climate crisis. But low-tech solutions like manually pulling out seaweed have a place too.
