Genetic autonomy and low singlet oxygen yield support kleptoplast functionality in photosynthetic sea slugs
The kleptoplastic sea slug Elysia chlorotica consumes Vaucheria litorea, stealing its plastids, which then photosynthesize inside the animal cells for months. We investigated the properties of V. litorea plastids to understand how they withstand the rigors of photosynthesis in isolation. Transcripti...
