Great work Jack C Koch on beautiful Anthopleura! His data suggest that heterotrophy is the predominant trophic strategy rather than autotrophy from symbiosis and that carbonic anhydrase plays many roles in the partnership. Weis Lab

Excited to share a chapter of my #PhD published in Journal of Experimental Biology! We examined sea anemone 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘢 carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes & found that symbiosis & factors related to host physiology affect CA. Virginia Weis jeb.biologists.org/content/early/…

Excited to see our work published in Microbial Ecology on characterization of Symbiodiniaceae glycome and the role of N-glycans in cnidarian symbiosis! Check it out here: rdcu.be/b0MtX

Thanks to Weis Lab Sandra Loesgen (loesgenlab.bsky.social) and the Mechref Lab for the collaborative work!

Come by poster P1-235 to check out Jason Presnell work on developing molecular tools in #Aiptasia #sicb2019

three flavors of Anthopleura elegantissima: chocolate, pistachio, vanilla. Jack C Koch gets me every time #SICB2019

Schedule mix up means special showing of Jack C Koch’s talk!! #sicb2019 Weis Lab @SICBtweets

✔️ out this new pub by @JenMatthews87! Used 13C stable-isotope labelling coupled to GC-MS to characterize newly fixed C fate in model cnidarian Aiptasia when experimentally colonized with either native Breviolum minutum or non-native Durusdinium trenchii rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/285/18…

Great job Sean, on your summer research project funded by SURE! Tracking the effects of nutrition and symbiotic state on growth, proliferation, and NF-kB expression in Aiptasia. #osuib #osuscience Weis Lab
