Symbiodinium—Invertebrate Symbioses and the Role of Metabolomics

Marine Drugs, 2010
Symbioses play an important role within the marine environment. Among the most well known of these symbioses is that between coral and the photosynthetic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium spp. Understanding the metabolic relationships between the host and the
