The effect of animal size on the carbonic anhydrase activity of the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima

Creator:

Tep, Allison P.

Abstract:

The sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima is a model organism for the study of temperate symbiosis. Anthopleura elegantissima can engage in symbiosis with two different algal symbionts: the dinoflagellate Breviolum muscatinei and the chlorophyte Elliptochloris marina. One host enzyme that has been shown to be important in cnidarian-algal symbioses is carbonic...

Public Health presented on June 4, 2019. Title: The effect of animal size on the carbonic anhydrase
Gene expression of four carbonic anhydrase paralogs across the symbiotic states of the model temperate sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt 1835)

Creator:

Meier, Emily K.

Abstract:

Anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are shifting the global climate equilibrium, causing widespread losses in biodiversity. Anthozoan cnidarians are some of the species most vulnerable to environmental change. Environmental stress causes corals and sea anemones to expel their endosymbiotic algae, which constitute a primary source of nutrition for some Anthozoa. Carbonic anhydrase...
