Functional kleptoplasty in sacoglossan sea slugs is among the most curious photosynthetic associations known. One member of these marine molluscs,Elysia viridis, is known to incorporate plastids from a variety of different algae food sources, but with apparently different outcomes and differences in the time span of the retention of functional kleptoplasts. While it was previously shown that kleptoplasts that stem fromCodium tomentosumare kept functional for several weeks (long-term retention, LtR), those that stem fromBryopsis hypnoidesorCladophora rupestrisare thought to be of limited use regarding photosynthetic capacity (short-term retention, StR). This is important, because it touches upon the popular yet controversial question of how important photosynthesis is for the thriving of these slugs. The aim of the present study was to determine to what degree the plastid source determines retention time. We, therefore, comparedE. viridisfeeding on eitherCladophorasp. orB. hypnoides. We show that kleptoplasts ofB. hypnoidesincorporate14CO2, but with rapidly declining efficiency throughout the first week of starvation, while the plastids ofCladophorasp. are, surprisingly, not incorporated to begin with. The radulae of the different samples showed adjustment to the food source, and when feeding onCladophorasp.,E. viridissurvived under laboratory conditions under both starvation and non-starvation conditions. Our results demonstrate that (i) the ability to incorporate plastids byE. viridisdiffers between the food sourcesB. hypnoidesandCladophorasp., and (ii) photosynthetic active kleptoplasts are not an inevitable requirement for survival.
