Twisted scroll waves organize Dictyostelium mucoroides slugs [PDF]
, 1997 Cellular slime moulds (Dictyosteloids) are characterised by at least two different modes of slug migration. Most species, e.g. Dictyostelium mucoroides, produce a stalk continuously during slug migration, while a few species, e.g.

Transcriptome analysis of the short-term photosynthetic sea slug Placida dendritica [PDF]
ALGAE, 2015 The intimate physical interaction between food algae and sacoglossan sea slug is a pertinent system to test the theory that “you are what you eat.” Some sacoglossan mollusks ingest and maintain chloroplasts that they acquire from the algae for photosynthesis.

On Being the Right Size as an Animal with Plastids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Plastids typically reside in plant or algal cells—with one notable exception. There is one group of multicellular animals, sea slugs in the order Sacoglossa, members of which feed on siphonaceous algae.

Bacterial diversity in the clarki ecotype of the photosynthetic sacoglossan, Elysia crispata
MicrobiologyOpen, 2020 Few studies have examined the bacterial communities associated with photosynthetic sacoglossan sea slugs. In this study, we determined the bacterial diversity in the clarki ecotype, Elysia crispata using 16S rRNA sequencing.

A sea slug’s guide to plastid symbiosis
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Some 140 years ago sea slugs that contained chlorophyll-pigmented granules similar to those of plants were described. While we now understand that these “green granules” are plastids the slugs sequester from siphonaceous algae upon which they feed ...

On the art of stealing chloroplasts
eLife, 2020 Sea slugs increase the longevity of the chloroplasts they steal from algae by limiting the harmful side-effects of photosynthesis.

Fate and regulation of anterior-like cells in Dictyostelium slugs [PDF]
, 1982 A pattern of two tissue types exists in the Dictyostelium slug. Contained within the posterior tissue are anterior-like cells which comprise about 10% of the developing cell mass.

Dynamics of photosynthetic complexes in the thylakoid membranes from higher plants [PDF]
, 2011 PhDPhotosynthetic machinery in higher plants is localised in the thylakoids enclosed in a chloroplast. To optimise and regulate the photosynthetic efficiency under different, rapidly changeable environmental conditions the dynamics of the thylakoid

Kleptoplast photosynthesis is nutritionally relevant in the sea slug Elysia viridis
Scientific Reports, 2017 Several sacoglossan sea slug species feed on macroalgae and incorporate chloroplasts into tubular cells of their digestive diverticula. We investigated the role of the “stolen” chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) in the nutrition of the sea slug Elysia viridis ...
