| Note(s): |
The uptake of ammonium and subsequent movement of nitrogen between symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) and host tissue in the sea anemones Bartholomea annulata (Le Sueur) and Aiptasia pallida (Verrill) were studied in time course experiments using 15NHþ4 in 1994.Research data are consistent with the conservation paradigm that photosynthate from the zooxanthellae reduces the host catabolism of nitrogenous compounds for respiration so that there is little ammonium to be recycled. Although there was little support for nitrogen recycling in our studies, there is likely a continuum between the recycling and conservation paradigms that depends on the availability of photosynthate and hence the coupling between carbon and nitrogen cycles of the partners.
