Functional chloroplasts in metazoan cells - a unique evolutionary strategy in animal life
Background Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long

Photoprotective Non-photochemical Quenching Does Not Prevent Kleptoplasts From Net Photoinactivation
The enigmatic association of photosynthetically active chloroplasts from algae and some sacoglossan sea slugs, called functional kleptoplasty, is a functional unique system of photosymbioses observed in metazoans.
