Effects of sheltering fish on growth of their host corals (2008, background): “Nitrogen for the cnidarian-zooxanthellae symbiosis comes from dissolved inorganic nitrogen (ammonium and nitrate) in seawater as well as from the zooplankton fed upon by the coral ( Grover et al. 2002 ).”
Cell Biology of Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis (2012, background): “Both the cnidarian and dinoflagellate partners can assimilate ammonium (42, 95, 146, 206), but it has been suggested that the dinoflagellate is the primary site of this assimilation (146).”
Heterotrophy in Tropical Scleractinian Corals (2009, background): “Since the supply of nitrogen directly influences the zooxanthellar C:N ratio (Snidvongs & Kinzie, 1994; Grover et al., 2002), feeding might increase amino acid synthesis compared to the production of nonnitrogenous compounds such as glycerol and glucose (Swanson&Hoegh-Guldberg, 1998;Wang&Douglas,…”
Organic matter release by dominant hermatypic corals of the Northern Red Sea (2010, background): “Corals are able to take up inorganic nutrients from ambient seawater to cover specific metabolic demands (Hoegh-Guldberg and Williamson 1999; Grover et al. 2002).”
Effect of natural zooplankton feeding on the tissue and skeletal growth of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata (2003, background): “The nitrogen content of fed colonies of S. pistillata was estimated to be equal to 90 lg N cm)2 (Grover et al. 2002).”
Nitrogen fixation by symbiotic cyanobacteria provides a source of nitrogen for the scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa (2007, background): “…studies also showed that the assimilation of NH4+ by the zooxanthellae is significantly greater than that by the animal tissue (Roberts et al. 1999, Grover et al. 2002), and this might provide an explanation for the absence of a significantly depleted δ15N signature in the animal compartment of…”
Influence of coral mucus on nutrient fluxes in carbonate sands (2005, background): “Ammonium is a typical excretion product of many marine invertebrates including corals, but usually ammonium in a zooxanthellae/coral symbiosis is not released, because of an intense use of the released ammonium by the endosymbionts (e.g. Grover et al. 2002).”
Importance of a micro-diet for scleractinian corals (2004, background): “S. pistillata, for example, is able to take up ammonium and nitrate (at in situ concentrations) at a rate of ca. 2 ng N cm–2 h–1 (Grover et al. 2002, 2003) corresponding to 0.05 ng N polyp–1 h–1.”
