For the first time, scientists have sequenced the DNA of coral with its associated zooxanthellae. By understanding the genetics of Porites australiensis and its symbiotic partner, researchers will be better able to understand coral including the important biosynthetic pathways of amino acids between coral and algae symbionts. by Advanced Aquarist | Feb 19, 2024 | Advanced Aquarist, Fish
