©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.To assess the interacting effects of nutrients and disease on Aplysina cauliformis, we provided nutrient enrichment to healthy and diseased sponges in a factorial experiment at LSI in the summer of 2009. Impacts on ARBS virulence (rate of lesion growth) and host response (growth and physiology of both the sponge and its cyanobacterial symbionts, Synechococcus spongiarum) were assessed.
