The role of horizontal gene transfer in kleptoplastidy and the establishment of photosynthesis in the eukaryotes

Found in different eukaryotic lineages, kleptoplastidy is the ability to sequester chloroplasts from algal preys that are ingested and partially digested. While most of the genetic information required for the activity and maintenance of the kleptoplastids disappeared with the digestion of the algal...
