Acquisition and maintenance of Phaeocystis in symbiosis.
| Organism | : | Planktonic Protists |
|---|---|---|
| Species | : | Acantharia |
| Description | : | The thousands of blue nuclei in the adult Acantharia represent individual “swarmers” that are released in the environment at the end of the life cycle. The absence of symbionts at this stage indicates that Phaeocystis are acquired de novo at each host generation (horizontal transmission). [Scale bars: 50 μm] |
