Hijacking and integration of algal plastids and mitochondria in a polar planktonic host.
Current biology : CB 20250417 11
In oceanic plankton, various hosts are capable of engulfing and temporarily integrating microalgae (photosymbiosis) or just their photosynthetic plastids (kleptoplastidy) from the environment. These cellular interactions have been hypothesized to be representative of evolutionary steps in plastid acquisition in eukaryotes, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we studied a polar kleptoplastidic dinoflagellate, which is known to steal plastids of the microalga Phaeocystis ...[more]
