I read a paper recently were pathogens from sick stony corals were intentionally transfected to apastia. I have been recently contemplating trying something similar. If aiptasia were able to be infected by whatever pathogens kills our gigantea and magnifica, we might be able to quickly screen for optimum antibiotic treatment. Any thoughts? Anyone, especially those with some biological training, interested in collaborating?
