Dear Coral-list Members:
   
  I am trying to establish a coral cell culture using DMEM, GMIM and M199 mediums for my thesis, but I have some questions about it, I would like to know if the coral cell can survive without the zooxanthella in those mediums and whether there is a technique to separate the zooxanthella from the coral cell without damage the last one (inhibition of the photosynthesis process by darkness could be a possibility?). I also would like to know which pH is the best for the culture and a likely treatment to isolate the coral cell from the zooxanthella after separation.
   
  I would appreciate very much if someone can help me with some information about those items.
   
  Thank you in advance.
   
  Kind regards.
