The photon menace: kleptoplast protection in the photosynthetic sea slugElysia timida
Abstract
Absorption of excessive light by photosymbiotic organisms leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that can damage both symbiont and host. This is highly relevant in sacoglossan sea slugs that host functional chloroplasts 'stolen' from their algal foods (kleptoplasts), because of limited repair capacities resulting from the absence of algal nuclear genes. Here, we experimentally demonstrate (i) a host-mediated photoprotection mechanism...
