Extremely thrilled to have authored this study! The multimodal imaging gave us a wonderful view into organelle hijacking in the polar dinoflagellate!

Huge thanks to all the collaborators who made this possible!!

Happy to share our last study led by @akrao.bsky.social published in @currentbiology.bsky.social, showing how a planktonic host steals and hijacks chloroplast and mitochondrion of a microalga using 3D subcellular imaging. Funded by @moorefound.bsky.social; @erc.europa.eu

#RésultatScientifique 🌊 Prédateur ou partenaire ?
Une nouvelle étude révèle que certains planctons marins avalent leurs proies … mais sans les digérer. Résultat : une étrange alliance, entre prédation et symbiose.

Ni proie, ni partenaire : le plancton qui floute la frontière entre prédation et symbiose

Dans une étude publiée dans Current Biology, des scientifiques montrent comment un plancton est capable de « vol
