Acquired phototrophy through retention of functional chloroplasts increases growth efficiency of the sea slug Elysia viridis.
Photosynthesis is a fundamental process sustaining heterotrophic organisms at all trophic levels. Some mixotrophs can retain functional chloroplasts from food (kleptoplasty), and it is hypothesized that carbon acquired through kleptoplasty may enhance trophic energy transfer through increased host g...
