Great work @jackckoch on beautiful Anthopleura! His data suggest that heterotrophy is the predominant trophic strategy rather than autotrophy from symbiosis and that carbonic anhydrase plays many roles in the partnership. @WeisLab

Excited to share a chapter of my #PhD published in @J_Exp_Biol! We examined sea anemone 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘢 carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes & found that symbiosis & factors related to host physiology affect CA. @VirginiaMWeis jeb.biologists.org/content/e…

Excited to see our work published in Microbial Ecology on characterization of Symbiodiniaceae glycome and the role of N-glycans in cnidarian symbiosis! Check it out here: rdcu.be/b0MtX Thanks to @WeisLab @LoesgenLab and the Mechref Lab for the collaborative work!

We are online! Great collaboration with @WeisLab and Mechref Lab. Work by @trevortivey, @parkinsonje, @2020Fungi_Paige. "N-Linked Surface Glycan Biosynthesis, Composition, Inhibition, and Function in Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis" @Whitney_Lab link.springer.com/article/10…

I have a new perspectives paper out championing ways that foundational cell biology of coral symbiosis can help with solutions to the #coralreef crisis. Check it out at: academic.oup.com/icb/advance…. Thanks @WeisLab for all of your hard work!

Diverse symbionts of reef corals have endured since 'age of dinosaurs' | Penn State University

Coral-algal partnerships have endured numerous climate change events in their long history, and at least some are likely to survive modern-day global warming as well, suggests an international team...
