Laboratory culturing of Elysia chlorotica reveals a shift from transient to permanent kleptoplasty
Symbiosis, 2012The kleptoplastic sacoglossan Elysia chlorotica shares a requisite, intracellular symbiosis with the plastids (= chloroplasts) of the Xanthophyte alga Vaucheria litorea. Although wild specimens have been used to address a range of biological questions, no studies have thoroughly characterized animal development during the initial establishment of the ...

Sacoglossan sea slugs retain the chloroplasts from food algae in their cells (kleptoplasty) and obtain the photosynthetic products, but the capability of kleptoplasty differs among species. One evolutionary hypothesis for kleptoplasty is that the family Volvatellidae is the ancestral sacoglossan lineage in which kleptoplasty arose, but this is based on

Initial Observations of Kleptoplasty in the Foraminifera of Coastal South Carolina
Southeastern Naturalist, 2015Abstract Kleptoplasty is a mixotrophic condition acquired by a heterotrophic grazer that ingests photosynthetic eukaryotic cells, wherein the plastids are not digested but rather are retained in the heterotrophic cell or organism in a photosynthetically active state.

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

Grand-scale theft: kleptoplasty in parasitic plants?
Trends in Plant Science, 2015The 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.

Kleptoplasty in an Antarctic dinoflagellate: caught in evolutionary transition?
Environmental Microbiology, 2006Summary Photosynthetic dinoflagellates contain a diverse collection of plastid types, a situation believed to have arisen from multiple endosymbiotic events. In addition, a number of heterotrophic (phagotrophic) dinoflagellates possess the ability to acquire chloroplasts temporarily by engulfing algae and ...

CHLOROPLAST SEQUESTRATION BY BENTHIC FORAMINIFERS IN DEEP-SHELF SEDIMENTS OF THE HIGH ARCTIC
Journal of Foraminiferal ResearchWhile foraminiferan protists (single-celled eukaryotes) inhabit a wide variety of habitats and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years, we still do not fully understand their physiological capabilities.
