Kleptoplasty or kleptoplastidy is a process in symbiotic relationships whereby plastids, notably chloroplasts from algae, are sequestered by the host....

Costasiellidae. Despite being animals they indirectly perform photosynthesis, via kleptoplasty. Discovered in 1993 off the coast of the Japanese island Kuroshima, Costasiella...

The capture and sequestering of photosynthetic cells and chloroplasts, kleptoplasty, occurs in many types of modern eukaryotic organisms. The cytoskeleton...

retains the chloroplasts of its prey for its own use, a process known as kleptoplasty ('stealing of plastids'). After phagocytosis of the algal prey, its cell...

chloroplasts from the algae they eat, a very unusual phenomenon known as kleptoplasty, for the "stolen" plastids. This earns them the title of the "solar-powered...

developed the capacity to sequester ingested plastids—a process known as kleptoplasty. A. F. W. Schimper was the first to name, describe, and provide a clear...

ocellifera.Costasiella ocellifera shows long-term retention of functional kleptoplasty. The name 'ocellifera' comes from the Latin word for eye, ''ocellus''...

quickly, with little chloroplast retention. Upon reaching maturity, kleptoplasty becomes an important energy source. The primary food source of E. crispata...

chloroplasts, and those with endosymbionts—and those that acquire them through kleptoplasty or through symbiotic associations with prey or enslavement of their organelles...

capable of kleptoplasty, which is the process of taking chloroplasts from digested algae and using them for photosynthesis. Kleptoplasty is performed...
