Methodological precision of in situ and in vitro algal density measurements in the model cnidarian, Exaiptasia diaphana
In cnidarian symbiosis research, studying algal uptake, maintenance, and expulsion typically requires quantification of algal density in host tissue. Multiple methods are used to measure algal density including in vitro cell counts of holobiont homogenate and in situ cell counts of tentacle clipping...
