Photobiology of the Chloroplast Hosting Mollusc Elysia Timida (Opisthobranchia)
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979ABSTRACT 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.

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.

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 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

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.

Invertebrate Systematics, 2012
Some groups of marine heterobranch sea slugs (formerly Opisthobranchia) have few discrete characters or hard parts and many ‘cosmopolitan’ species, suggesting an overly conservative taxonomy in need of integrative approaches. Many herbivorous sea slugs in the clade Sacoglossa retain algal chloroplasts that remain functionally photosynthetic for 1–2 ...
