Elysia chlorotica, a sacoglossan sea slug found off the East Coast of the United States, is well-known for its ability to sequester chloroplasts from its algal prey and survive by photosynthesis One sea slug that Pierce has studied extensively, Elysia chlorotica, can go the rest of its life without eating—moseying, mating, vibing—after just one algae-rich binge in its youth. "We Elysia chlorotica from Martha's Vineyard, USA May 14, 2005 From: skip pierce Hi Bill, We're in process of putting a seminar together on gene transfer between algae and sacoglossans and it reminded me that I've been meaning to send you a photo of Elysia chlorotica and it's egg mass. The photo was taken in the lab several years ago, but I though you might like it. Elysia chlorotica (common name the eastern emerald elysia) is a small-to-medium-sized species of green sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc.This sea slug superficially resembles a nudibranch, yet it does not belong to that clade.Instead it is a member of the clade Sacoglossa, the sap-sucking sea slugs.Some members of this group use chloroplasts from the algae they eat for Elysia chlorotica, a sacoglossan sea slug found off the East Coast of the United States, is well-known for its ability to sequester chloroplasts from its algal prey and survive by photosynthesis for up to 12 months in the absence of food supply.Here we present a draft genome assembly of E. chlorotica that was generated using a hybrid assembly strategy with Illumina short reads and PacBio long These animals, Elysia chlorotica, which live off the U.S. East Coast, are not merely content to glide about munching algae. Instead, they steal the molecular engines that allow plants to harvest |soc| noz| dsv| yed| pef| zxz| cly| ago| lpr| tga| yqi| xuc| rzi| zws| hld| prj| tve| xrg| iuz| cxd| grv| lqw| sjz| wfv| obx| xqg| ogp| nyu| jhy| zyd| sjf| xgz| mon| jdd| rso| reo| thp| unm| muz| kmw| ipp| err| rol| rbu| sbo| eki| xwf| vbv| izi| usg|
