Abstract

Alcohol-soluble photosynthetic products of chloroplasts symbiotic in three species of sacoglossan slugs (Elysia hedgpethi, Placida dendritica Placobranchus ianthobapsus) were analyzed and compared to products of chloroplasts in an intact alga. Animal-cell chloroplasts appear to lack the ability to synthesize either lipids or sucrose. They do, however, produce greater percentages of TCA-cycle intermediates than do chloroplasts from the intact alga investigated.
