PNSB Shown to Play Role in Coral Productivity
Corals may obtain much of their organic carbon from their zooxanthellae, but they rely on a certain type of symbiotic bacterium for biologically available nitrogen. And it's why corals can grow so well in the nutrient-poor waters of natural reefs!
PNSB Shown to Play Role in Coral Productivity
Purple and green phototrophic bacteria benefit coral reefs (and reef aquaria) through nitrogen fixation.
