Experimentally Induced Bleaching in the Sea Anemone Exaiptasia Supports Glucose as a Main Metabolite Associated with Its Symbiosis

Table 1

Symbiont density in anemones before and after bleaching. Values are the total number of cells per mg of protein mass, isolated from 3 individuals for each biological replicate. For each sample, four technical replicates were counted.

Anemones	With symbionts	Bleached
(1)	5.31 × 10^6	4.37 × 10^5
(2)	5.80 × 10^6	3.14 × 10^5
(3)	3.71 × 10^6	4.34 × 10^5
Mean	4.94 × 10^6	3.95 × 10^5
SD	1.09 × 10^6	0.70 × 10^5
