The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Cell Biology of Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis (2012, background): “As calicoblastic cells have been identified as the unique site of OM synthesis (293) and ion transport, we can therefore hypothesize that photosynthetic products are secreted into the gastrovascular cavity by symbiont-containing gastrodermal cells situated toward the oral end of the coral polyp (i.”
Calcification in bleached and unbleached Montastraea faveolata: evaluating the role of oxygen and glycerol (2010, background): “Coral skeleton formation is a biologically mediated process and not purely physico-chemical one as originally believed (Puverel et al. 2005).”
Observations of the tissue-skeleton interface in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata (2007, background): “In S. pistillata, calicoblastic cells have been shown to be the site of organic matrix synthesis ( Puverel et al. 2004 ) and the inhibition of organic matrix synthesis leads to the inhibition of calciWcation (Allemand et al. 1998).”
Characterization and role of carbonic anhydrase in the calcification process of the azooxanthellate coral Tubastrea aurea (2007, methodology): “that, as in zooxanthellate corals (Puverel et al. 2005), organic matrix proteins of azooxanthellate corals do not result from the trapping of the whole soft tissues as suggested by Constantz (1986). By immunohistochemistry, we showed that only the tissues facing the skeleton (i.”
