Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Simultaneous use of both heterotrophic and autotrophic metabolism (mixotrophy) is common among protists. Strombidium rassoulzadegani is a planktonic mixotrophic marine ciliate that saves chloroplasts from its algal food and obtains a nutritional subsidy

The Importance of the Phytoplankton “Middle Class” to Ocean Net Community Production
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020 Abstract The net balance between photosynthesis and respiration in the surface ocean is a key regulator of ocean‐atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) partitioning, and by extension, Earth's climate. The slight excess of photosynthesis over community respiration in sunlit waters, known as net community production (NCP), sets the upper bound on the ...

Bacterial diversity in the clarki ecotype of the photosynthetic sacoglossan, Elysia crispata
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020 The bacterial diversity of the solar‐powered sea slug, Elysia crispata (clarki ecotype), was investigated. The results showed inter‐individual variability in bacterial diversity, suggesting that the bacteria live commensally with these sea slugs. Abstract Few studies have examined the bacterial communities associated with photosynthetic sacoglossan sea

Journal of Phycology, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 52-67, February 2020., 2020 Many marine microbial eukaryotes combine photosynthetic with phagotrophic nutrition, but incomplete understanding of such mixotrophic protists, their functional diversity, and underlying physiological mechanisms limits the assessment and modeling of their roles in present and future ocean ecosystems.

eLife, 2020 Sacoglossan sea slugs are able to maintain functional chloroplasts inside their own cells, and mechanisms that allow preservation of the chloroplasts are unknown.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Plakobranchus cf. ocellatus (Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa), a so-called ‘solar-powered’ sea slug with long-term retention of chloroplasts.

Patterns in evolutionary origins of heme, chlorophyll a and isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic pathways suggest non-photosynthetic periods prior to plastid replacements in dinoflagellates [PDF]
, 2018 BackgroundThe ancestral dinoflagellate most likely established a peridinin-containing plastid, which have been inherited in the extant photosynthetic descendants.
