    Characterisation of coral explants: a model organism for cnidarian–dinoflagellate studies

    Coral cell cultures made from reef-building scleractinian corals have the potential to aid in the pursuit of understanding of the cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis. Various methods have previously been descri...
