Exposure to aged polypropylene nurdle leachates disrupts photosymbiosis in a kleptoplastic unicellular eukaryote.

Science of the Total Environment
Kleptoplasty, i.e. the sequestration of functional algal chloroplasts by a host organism, represents a natural case of photosymbiosis from which the host derives crucial energetic benefits. We explored here how this host-symbiont relationship is affected

Photophysiology of kleptoplasts: photosynthetic use of light by chloroplasts living in animal cells [PDF]

Kleptoplasty is a remarkable type of photosynthetic association, resulting from the maintenance of functional chloroplasts--the 'kleptoplasts'--in the tissues of a non-photosynthetic host. It represents a biologically unique condition for chloroplast and

Development of venus-fused Cypridina luciferase (VCL) and specific nanobody-tethering assay to model kleptoprotein uptake

Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences
The bioluminescent fish Parapriacanthus ransonneti does not synthesize the luciferase enzyme required for light emission; instead, it acquires the high-molecular-weight enzyme from its prey, the ostracod Cypridina noctiluca.

Kleptoplasty in a shallow water benthic foraminifer, Haynesina germanica [PDF]

Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate kleptoplast cellular organisation, functionality (O2 flux, C and N incorporation), pigment composition and ...

Direct observation of feeding behavior in the kleptoplastic sea slug Plakobranchus ocellatus type black (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa)*

bioRxiv
The feeding ecology of sacoglossans, an exceptionally stenophagous group among marine animals, has been extensively studied because these organisms exhibit kleptoplasty—a phenomenon in which chloroplasts derived from ingested algae are sequestered and ...

Proteomic analysis of the mucus of the photosynthetic sea slug Elysia crispata [PDF]

Elysia crispata is a tropical sea slug that can retain intracellular functional chloroplasts from its algae prey, a mechanism termed kleptoplasty.

Kleptochemie und Kleptoplastie in Opisthobranchia (Mollusca Gastropoda)

, 2008
Zwei mögliche Schlüsselmerkmale (Kleptoplastie und Kleptochemie) der Opisthobranchia werden untersucht. Im Fokus steht dabei die Nutzung von Naturprodukten als chemische Verteidigungsstrategie. Einige dieser Stoffe stammen aus der Nahrung, andere werden von Opisthobranchiern \(\textit {de novo}\) synthetisiert.
