Description of a new pseudocryptic species of Elysia Risso, 1818 (Heterobranchia, Sacoglossa) in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2020 A new sacoglossan species of the genus Elysia Risso, 1818 from southern Italy is described based on its external morphology, color pattern, radular teeth, and reproductive system.

Effect of light on photosynthetic efficiency of sequestered chloroplasts in intertidal benthic foraminifera (Haynesina germanica and Ammonia tepida) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate chloroplast functionality of two benthic foraminifera (Haynesina germanica and Ammonia tepida) exposed to ...

Discovery of a kleptoplastic 'dinotom' dinoflagellate and the unique nuclear dynamics of converting kleptoplastids to permanent plastids [PDF]
, 2019 A monophyletic group of dinoflagellates, called ‘dinotoms’, are known to possess evolutionarily intermediate plastids derived from diatoms. The diatoms maintain their nuclei, mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum in addition with their plastids ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Benthic Foraminifera exhibit diverse adaptations to low oxygen (O2) environments, including denitrification, a rare trait among eukaryotes. Denitrifying species store intracellular nitrate (NO3−), possibly within vacuoles, and contribute significantly to the global marine nitrogen (N) cycle.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 17, Page 9878-9890, September 2019., 2019 Hosts can benefit from microbes in myriad ways, but it is unclear whether most symbionts are co‐evolved partners that also benefit from association (mutualism) or are transient partners without strong selective pressure for host association. We evaluated these two possibilities using two Burkholderia species that are facultative symbionts of the social

Photoprotection and genetic autonomy of plastids in photosynthetic sea slugs [PDF]
, 2022 Certain sea slugs “steal” the photosynthetic cellular organelles, the plastids, from their prey algae and incorporate them, still functional, inside their own cells. These animals can then remain photosynthetic for months.

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract As chloroplast‐stealing or “kleptoplastidic” lineages become more reliant on stolen machinery, they also tend to become more specialized on the prey from which they acquire this machinery. For example, the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum obtains > 95% of its carbon from photosynthesis, and specializes on plastids from the Teleaulax clade of ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 2732-2747, November 2024.Abstract Dinophysis is an obligate mixotroph that relies on consumption of the ciliate, Mesodinium rubrum, to grow and form harmful algal blooms (HABs). In this study, blooms of Dinophysis acuminata in two NY, USA, estuaries were studied over the course of 3 yr (2019–2021) using discrete samples and an Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) to capture images of ...

A kleptoplastidic dinoflagellate and the tipping point between transient and fully integrated plastid endosymbiosis [PDF]
, 2019 Plastid endosymbiosis has been a major force in the evolution of eukaryotic cellular complexity, but how endosymbionts are integrated is still poorly understood at a mechanistic level. Dinoflagellates, an ecologically important protist lineage, represent
