Food Frontiers, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 584-606, March 2024.Abstract Sea cucumbers, belonging to class Holothuroidea, are marine invertebrates with substantial bioactive compounds. This study provides the first comparative metabolome profiling of Holothuria atra and Actinopyga crassa sea cucumbers in relation to their season of collection to dissect between winter and summer samples, providing several first ...

When Your Gut Is A Garden: A Comparative Study of Sea Slug Species and Chloroplast Sources to Determine the Benefits of Kleptoplasty [PDF]
, 2019 Seas slugs in clade Sacoglossa are the only animals capable of retaining ingested macroalgal chloroplasts intracellularly, where they photosynthesize for less than a month (short-term retention, STR) or between 1-10 months (long-term retention, LTR ...

Strombidium rassoulzadegani: A Model Species for Chloroplast Retention in Oligotrich Ciliates
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Strombidium rassoulzadegani is a planktonic ciliate that retains chloroplasts from its food and uses them to obtain a nutritional supplement from photosynthesis.

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 2, March/April 2024.Abstract Sacoglossa sea slugs have garnered attention due to their ability to retain intracellular functional chloroplasts from algae, while degrading other algal cell components. While protective mechanisms that limit oxidative damage under excessive light are well documented in plants and algae, the photoprotective strategies employed by these ...

Preliminary Study of Kleptoplasty in Foraminifera of South Carolina [PDF]
, 2014 Recent studies of living foraminifera, microscopic aquatic protists, indicate that some species have the ability to steal photosynthetic plastids from other microorganism and keep them viable through a process called kleptoplasty.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceSome Sacoglossa sea slugs feed on macroalgae and sequester chloroplasts in the cells of their digestive diverticulum. In some species, mostly within the genus Elysia, the stolen chloroplasts – kleptoplasts – remain photosynthetically competent for weeks ...

AUTOMATED BIOINFORMATICS TO EVALUATE THE RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF ENDOSYMBIOSIS AND KLEPTOPLASTY IN THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX RED ALGAE [PDF]
, 2019 Complex algae form a network of photosynthetic organisms spread across the eukaryotic tree. Among those, CASH lineages have plastids related to red algae, but the mechanisms by which they were acquired remain unclear.

Potential key characters in Opisthobranchia (Gastropoda, Mollusca) enhancing adaptive radiation [PDF]
, 2004 Five potential key characters which might have enhanced species radiation in the Opisthobranchia (Gastropoda) are discussed. These are: 3–4 cuticular plates in the gizzard of Cephalaspidea s.str., kleptoplasty in Sacoglossa, kleptocnides in Aeolidoidea ...

Why mixotrophy flourished in water but rarely on land
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionMixotrophy, the ability to combine photosynthesis with heterotrophic acquisition of carbon or nutrients, is now recognized as a central feature of aquatic microbial food webs and a recurrent strategy in several protist and simple animal lineages.

Kleptoplasty in Dinophysis spp [Elektronisk resurs] : Ecological role and evolutionary implications [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis deals with the question of whether planktonic protits of the genus Dinophysis have permanent plastids (=chloroplasts) or practice kleptoplasty, i.e. acquire plastids via predation on other microorganisms.
