Cartoon for Dr. Christina Kellogg's presentations for the Rudi Lemberg Travelling Fellowship, given throughout Australia. Bacteria degrade and remineralize waste products. Nitrogen and sulfur cycling occurs within the coral; the quality of food can be patchy in the deep ocean so it's helpful for corals to be able to reuse or supplement nutrients from within.
