This investigation focuses on the adaptations ciliates can                  achieve by acquiring chloroplasts and utilizing their                           photosynthetic capabilities within the ciliate cell.  Many                      planktonic ciliates retain a portion of the chloroplasts from the               algal cells they ingest.  In some, these retained chloroplasts                  continue to carry out carbon assimilation at rates comparable to                the intact algae.  This research focuses on how ciliates regulate               the photosynthetic production of retained chloroplasts and how                  important this energy source is for the microzooplankters.  As                  ciliates can be very important microzooplankton components of                   some aquatic ecosystems, this adaptation may greatly affect the                 production ecology of these systems.
