Article Title: Algae from Aiptasia egesta are robust representations of Symbiodiniaceae in the free-living state

doi: 10.7717/peerj.13796

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Amount of egesta released per anemone every hour over 24 hours. Experiments 1 and 2 began at 17:00 and experiments 3 and 4 began at 23:00. Black and white bars on x -axis depict dark and light periods, respectively. (B) The mitotic index of algae in egesta and in the host. Dots indicate individual samples and lines connecting dots indicate paired samples. The difference was statistically significant ( p = 0.01, Paired t -test). (C) The maximum quantum yield of photosystem II of algae over time as measured by FRRf. Vertical lines indicate standard deviations around the mean. (D) Symbiont density in aposymbiotic Aiptasia inoculated with algae in culture, from egesta, or freshly isolated from hosts. Horizontal lines indicate mean symbiont density. Differences were not statistically significant ( p = 0.06, Kruskal-Wallis test).
