Researchers unearth a new process by which algae pass on nutrients to their coral host

Researchers have identified a new pathway by which sugar is released by symbiotic algae. This pathway involves the largely overlooked cell wall, showing that this structure not only protects the cell but plays an important role in symbiosis and carbon circulation in the ocean. The findings were reported in the journal eLife on August 18, 2023.
