Photoregulation in a Kleptochloroplastidic Dinoflagellate, Dinophysis acuta

Some phagotrophic organisms can retain chloroplasts of their photosynthetic prey as so-called kleptochloroplasts and maintain their function for shorter or longer periods of time. Here we show for the first time that the dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuta takes control over third-hand chloroplasts obta...
