Note(s): There is a relationship between host feeding, nitrogen status and mitotic activity of zooxanthellae symbiotic with the marine hydroid Myrionema amboinense. Decreases in the mitotic index of zooxanthellae in starved M. amboinense, and in internal pool sizes of glutamine and glutamate, amino acids involved in ammonium assimilation via the glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway, were partially restored by addition of ammonium chloride to seawater in which hydroids were incubated.
