AUTOMATED BIOINFORMATICS TO EVALUATE THE RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF ENDOSYMBIOSIS AND KLEPTOPLASTY IN THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX RED ALGAE [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Identification of sequestered chloroplasts in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic sacoglossan sea slugs (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Sacoglossan sea slugs are well known for their unique ability among metazoans to incorporate functional chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) in digestive glandular cells, enabling the slugs to use these as energy source when starved for weeks and ...

When Your Gut Is A Garden: A Comparative Study of Sea Slug Species and Chloroplast Sources to Determine the Benefits of Kleptoplasty

open access: yes, 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 ...

Kleptochemie und Kleptoplastie in Opisthobranchia (Mollusca Gastropoda)

open access: yes, 2008
Zwei mögliche Schlüsselmerkmale (Kleptoplastie und Kleptochemie) der Opisthobranchia werden untersucht. Im Fokus steht dabei die Nutzung von Naturprodukten als chemische Verteidigungsstrategie. Einige dieser Stoffe stammen aus der Nahrung, andere werden von Opisthobranchiern \(\textit {de novo}\) synthetisiert.

In situ imaging of a kleptoplastidic ciliate thin layer indicates traditional sampling underestimates oceanic mixotroph biomass

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Planktonic mixotrophs, including ciliates, are abundant, yet understudied, mediators of primary and secondary production in aquatic food webs. Here, we report high-resolution in situ observations of a thin layer—a vertically limited patch of high ...
