Kleptoplast photosynthesis is nutritionally relevant in the sea slug Elysia viridis
Abstract 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 and assessed how their abundance, dist...
