Cellular Mechanisms of Cnidarian Bleaching
Meeting Abstract 113.3 Wednesday, Jan. 7 14:00 Cellular Mechanisms of Cnidarian Bleaching BIERI, T.*; PRINGLE, J.R.; Stanford University tamakib@stanford.edu Several possible mechanisms of bleaching (loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates) have been reported in corals and sea anemones. These include in situ degradation of algal cells, exocytosis of algal cells, detachment of host cells containing algae, and death of […]
