Diazotroph-Derived Nitrogen Assimilation Strategies Differ by Scleractinian Coral Species

Reef-building corals generally thrive in nutrient-poor tropical waters, where among other elements, nitrogen (N) availability often limits primary productivity. In addition to their close association with endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, enabling an effective use and rete...
