Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation and Electron Transport Rates in Two Symbiont-Bearing Planktonic Foraminifera

Photosymbiosis is one of the key features characterizing planktonic foraminifera; the number of symbiont cells within a single host has been reported to be well over thousands, meaning that photosynthesis by photosymbiosis may be a “hot spot” for primary production, especially in oligotrophic oceans...
