Carbon integration and transfer by the photosynthetic symbiotic dinoflagellates of the planktonic foraminifer Orbulina universa observed by TEM-nanoSIMS techniques
The planktonic foraminifera Orbulina universa is living in the photic zone of marine water columns and it possesses photosynthetic microalgae symbionts in its cytoplasm (dinoflagellates). The transfer of carbon compounds from the symbiotic microalgae to the foraminifer host cell is a continuous proc...
