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.

Short-term retention of kleptoplasty from a green alga (Bryopsis) in the sea slug Placida sp. YS001
Biologia, 2014 The capacity of sea slugs (sacoglossans) for retaining chloroplasts from food algae provides important insights into endosymbiotic relationships and kleptoplasty. A sea slug species was captured accidentally in the Yellow Sea and identified as Placida sp. YS001 based on phylogenetic analyses of the COX1 and 16S gene sequence.

Organisms Diversity & Evolution, 2014 Sacoglossa is a rather small taxon of marine slugs with about 300 described species, yet it is quite fascinating scientists for decades. This is mainly because of the ability of certain species to incorporate photosynthetically active plastids of their algae prey, a phenomenon known as functional kleptoplasty.

The Biological Bulletin, 2010 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

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

Laboratory culturing of Elysia chlorotica reveals a shift from transient to permanent kleptoplasty
Symbiosis, 2012 The 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 ...
