Using fast repetition rate (FRR) fluorometry, we succeeded in measuring the chlorophyll a (Chl a) content and photo-physiological state of symbiotic algae within individual cells of host foraminifers. We found that the Chl a content and photo-physiological state of the symbiotic algae varied greatly over the life cycle of their host. The results of this study indicate the potential benefits of using FRR fluorometry to reveal host-algal symbiont relationships in the ocean.
