HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Diana Lopes and collaborators from the CESAM-Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies, Department of Chemistry, University of have published the Article: Sea Slug Mucus Production Is Supported by Photosynthesis of Stolen Chloroplasts, in the Journal: Biology 2022, 1207 of /2022/
  • what: The authors investigated the role of kleptoplast photosynthesis on mucus production by the tropical Animals reared for 5 weeks in quasi dark (5 µmol photons m-2 s-1 ) showed similar growth to those under regular light (60-90 µmol photons m-2 s-1 ) showing that kleptoplast photosynthesis was not relevant . . .
