Physiology and nutritional status of Cassiopea holobionts exposed to heat stress. A Medusae wet weight. B Host protein content. C Holobiont net ammonium uptake rate. D Host atomic C:N ratio. E Symbiont density per host protein, F Chlorophyll a content per host protein. G Symbiont atomic C:N ratio. Sampling points correspond to days 5 (SP1) and 11 (SP2) of the experiment. Individual groups were compared using Tukey’s HSD (indicated above the boxplots). Asterisks indicate significant differences between treatments (*p < 0.050, **p < 0.010, ***p < 0.001). Asterisks in brackets show significant differences when only SP2 is considered. Number of biological replicates per condition: A, B, C, E, F n = 6 except for SP2 under heat stress where n = 4; D, G n = 3
