This study compares photoprotective mechanisms in two green macroalgae, finding that qE-capable species use different pathways for photoprotection compared to qE-deficient species.

This study investigates chloroplast movements in two siphonous macroalgae under high light and grazing, finding that A. acetabulum responds with chloroplast aggregation while Bryopsis sp. does not.

This study shows that sea slugs provide phosphate to kleptoplasts, enhancing their photosynthetic capacity and longevity, while nitrogen depletion impairs photosynthesis.

The paper shows Bryopsidales algae lack state transitions and kleptoplasts in sea slugs also lose this ability due to structural changes during incorporation.
