It’s the ultimate form of solar power: eat a plant, become photosynthetic. Now researchers have found how one animal does just that.
The mechanism of gene acquisition should be investigated and it is so interesting to see this.
Elysia chlorotica is a lurid green sea slug, with a gelatinous leaf-shaped body, that lives along the Atlantic seaboard of the US. What sets it apart from most other sea slugs is its ability to run on solar power.
Mary Rumpho of the University of Maine, is an expert on E. chlorotica and has now discovered how the sea slug gets this ability: it photosynthesises with genes “stolen” from the algae it eats.
