Kleptoplasty: Solar-powered sea slugs house stolen plastids in kleptosomes

Current Biology
A new study shows that Sacoglossan sea slugs sequester stolen plastids in arrested phagosomes called 'kleptosomes', redefining how these organelles are compartmentalized and regulated in animal cells. Under normal conditions, the plastids are supported and maintained, but starvation causes their degradation, supporting a potential nutritional role.

Grand-scale theft: Kleptoplasty in parasitic plants?

Trends in Plant Science, 2015
The angiosperm Rafflesia lives as an obligate holoparasite in intimate contact with its hosts, vines in the genus Tetrastigma. The hosts are forced to supply the parasite with all the necessary nutrients. Novel data tentatively suggest that the thievery may happen on a larger scale and include entire organellar genomes.

Chloroplast DNA content in Dinophysis ( Dinophyceae ) from different cell cycle stages is consistent with kleptoplasty

Environmental Microbiology, 2008
Summary Kleptoplasty is the retention of plastids obtained from ingested algal prey, which can remain temporarily functional and be used for photosynthesis by the predator. With a new approach based on cell cycle analysis, we have addressed the question of whether the toxic, bloom‐forming dinoflagellate
