Organic matter release by dominant hermatypic corals of the Northern Red Sea (2010, background): “Nitrate represents an important source of nitrogen for hermatypic corals and is predominantly assimilated by the symbiotic zooxanthellae (Grover et al. 2003).”
Heterotrophy in Tropical Scleractinian Corals (2009, unknown): “3) (Ferrier, 1991; Hoegh-Guldberg & Williamson, 1999; Grover et al., 2002, 2003).”
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.”
Cell Biology of Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis (2012, background): “Indeed, when the coral Stylophora pistillata was labeled with [(15)N]nitrate, the label was incorporated predominantly into the dinoflagellate partner (147).”
