Crawling leaves: photosynthesis in sacoglossan sea slugs

, 2013
Some species of sacoglossan sea slugs can maintain functional chloroplasts from specific algal food sources in the cells of their digestive diverticula. These 'stolen' chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) can survive in the absence of the plant cell and continue ...

CIRCULAR DICHROISM OF LIGHT-HARVESTING COMPLEXES FROM PURPLE PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA [PDF]

, 1985
The CD spectra of a range of antenna complexes from several different species of purple photosynthetic bacteria were recorded in the wavelength range of 190 to 930 nm. Analysis of the far UV CD (190 to 250 nm) showed that in each case except for the B800-

Integrating host use and dispersal ability with species delimitation to unravel a cryptic radiation of photosynthetic sea slugs

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society
Abstract Species delimitation models are important quantitative tools for facilitating the discovery of cryptic species and clarifying the boundaries between focal taxa. However, distinct evolutionary processes may promote diversification at different points in a radiation, complicating efforts to identify speciation processes and ...

Switching off photosynthesis: The dark side of sacoglossan slugs

, 2014
Sometimes the elementary experiment can lead to the most surprising result. This was recently the case when we had to learn that so-called "photosynthetic slugs" survive just fine in the dark and with chemically inhibited photosynthesis.

Intracellular photonic crystals in photosynthetic sea slugs form via a kidney-mediated biomineralisation pathway

Abstract Sea slugs in the Sacoglossa superorder are some of the few animals capable of photosynthesising by isolating and maintaining functional chloroplasts within their body 1,2 . While this ability allows some species in this superorder, such as Elysia viridis

They can’t stand the heat: marine heatwaves and bleaching impair stress responses and reproduction of a photosynthetic symbiont-bearing sea slug

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine heatwaves (MHW) are intensifying, causing mass bleaching events in coral reefs. While their ecological and socioeconomic impacts are well documented, their cascading effects on specialized organisms remain understudied. Here, we investigate the impact that MHW and feeding on bleached prey have on a stenophagous tropical ...

Biological control of slugs in winter wheat using the rhabditid nematode Phasmarhabditis-hermaphrodita

, 1994
A field experiment on winter wheat in autumn 1991 investigated the effect of the rhabditid nematode, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, applied to soil at five dose rates (10(8) - 10(10) infective larvae ha-1) immediately after seed sowing, on slug ...

Primary photosynthetic processes: from supercomplex to leaf [PDF]

, 2009
This thesis describes fluorescence spectroscopy experiments on photosynthetic complexes that cover the primary photosynthetic processes, from the absorption of light by photosynthetic pigments to a charge separation (CS) in the reaction center (RC ...
