Description: English: In vitro: Acropora tenuis cells of the IVB5 line and symbiosis with the photosynthetic dinoflagellate, Breviolum minutum (Symbiodiniaceae). Maintenance of coral cells with symbiotic dinoflagellates. (A) 2 days, (B) 4 days, (C) 7 days, and (D) 22 days after mixture of the two types of cells. Coral cells with symbiotic dinoflagellates (broken circles) became spherical, without pseudopodial extensions, and exhibit less and less locomotor activity. Those cells became globular, bright cells. (C3,D2) are bright field images of (C1,D1), showing one (black arrowhead), two (gray arrowhead), and three algae (white arrowhead) in single cells. p, pseudopodium; v, vacuole. Scale bars, 50 μm in (A,B,C3), 100 μm in (C1), 10 μm in (C2), and 20 μm in (D1,D2). Date: 14 July 2021. Source: Fig. 2 at
