This study examines how chloroplast lipidomes from two macroalgae are modified after being sequestered by photosynthetic sea slugs, showing preservation of algal identity with host-induced changes in lipid composition.

This study compares photoprotective mechanisms in two green macroalgae, finding that qE-capable species use different pathways for photoprotection compared to qE-deficient species.

This study investigates chloroplast movements in two siphonous macroalgae under high light and grazing, finding that A. acetabulum responds with chloroplast aggregation while Bryopsis sp. does not.

This study shows that sea slugs provide phosphate to kleptoplasts, enhancing their photosynthetic capacity and longevity, while nitrogen depletion impairs photosynthesis.

The paper shows Bryopsidales algae lack state transitions and kleptoplasts in sea slugs also lose this ability due to structural changes during incorporation.

This study compares photoprotective mechanisms in two Elysia species with Acetabularia chloroplasts, revealing differences in their tolerance to high light stress.
