Polypropionates from the Mediterranean Mollusk Elysia timida

Journal of Natural Products, 1994
The Mediterranean sacoglossan Elysia timida contains, along with the already known photodeoxytridachione [2] and 9,10-deoxytridachione [3], two new related polypropionates, 15-norphotodeoxytridachione [5] and iso-9,10-deoxytridachione [6]. The presence of all these propionates in the mucous secretion of the mollusc suggests a potential defensive role ...

Dynamics of a peculiar plant-herbivore relationship: the photosynthetic ascoglossan Elysia timida and the chlorophycean Acetabularia acetabulum

Marine Biology, 1992
The ascoglossan mollusc Elysia timida Risso, 1818 retains functional chloroplasts from its algal food, the chlorophycean Acetabularia acetabulum (L.). Photosynthates from the plastids are an important source of organic nutrients for the mollusc. Chloroplast exploitation has an ecological function, allowing the ascoglossan to live entirely on an algal ...

The role of kleptoplasts in the survival rates of Elysia timida (Risso, 1818): (Sacoglossa: Opisthobranchia) during periods of food shortage

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2008
The importance of photosynthetic products derived from kleptoplasts in several sacoglossan species is being investigated in different fields, such as chemistry, biomolecular genetics and ecology. This study analyzes the effect of kleptoplasts on the survival rates of Elysia timida by evaluating the development of chlorophyll concentration, total length

Phagocytosis of algal chloroplasts by digestive gland cells in the photosynthesis-capable slug Elysia timida (Mollusca, Opisthobranchia, Sacoglossa)

Zoomorphology, 2012
Parapodia of the sacoglossan slug Elysia timida were preserved by high-pressure cryofixation during feeding experiments and investigated with transmission electron microscopy. This slug has been known for its long-term retention of active chloroplasts and photosynthesis.

Photobiology of the Chloroplast Hosting Mollusc Elysia Timida (Opisthobranchia)

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979
ABSTRACT Photoreactive behaviour of Elysia timida was examined with regard to the posture of its parapodia, covering or exposing its symbiotic chloroplasts. In the dark, the parapodia are held dorsally close together, but they open and spread out in light, at 3 × 103 to 3 × 105 ergs. cm−2. s−1.

Behaviour and a functional xanthophyll cycle enhance photo-regulation mechanisms in the solar-powered sea slug Elysia timida (Risso, 1818)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2010
Abstract Some solar-powered sea slugs are capable of incorporating chloroplasts directly in their cell cytosol sustaining photosynthesis for significant time periods. This phenomenon is known as kleptoplasty. Kleptoplastids show high functionality levels but little is known about their photo-regulatory mechanisms.
