摘要

光合作用是维持地球生命的关键生物过程，主要发生在植物、自养藻类和某些光合细菌等自养生物中。将光合作用引入异养生物（如动物）以利用太阳能并潜在地消除饥饿风险的目标仍然令人着迷。saclossa是唯一已知的光合动物群体，它们通过内共生利用来自特定绿藻的光合装置（叶绿体）。本文综述了目前对太阳能sacoglosa动物细胞中绿色微藻（特别是Elysia属）光合机构的整合、功能和生存机制的了解，以及其进化史和生命周期。我们进一步讨论了在动物细胞内引入天然和人工光合装置的潜在方法，这些方法在未来太阳能畜牧业和人类营养/健康方面有令人兴奋的应用。

Achieving photosynthesis in the animal cells of solar-powered sea slugs: A step toward artificial photosynthetic animals

Photosynthesis is a critical biological process that sustains life on earth, primarily occurring in autotrophs such as plants, autotrophic algae, and certain photosynthetic bacteria. The goal of introducing photosynthesis into heterotrophs, such as animals, to harness solar energy and potentially eliminate the risk of starvation remains intriguing. Sacoglossa is the only known groups of photosynthetic animals, which utilize the photosynthetic apparatus (chloroplasts) from selected green algae via endosymbiosis. In this review, we examined the current understanding of the integration, function, and survival mechanisms of the photosynthetic apparatus from green microalgae within the animal cells of solar-powered sacoglossa, especially in Elysia genus, during evolution history and life cycle. We further discussed potential methods for introducing natural and artificial photosynthetic apparatuses within animal cells for exciting applications in future solar-powered animal husbandry and human nutrition/health.
