Abstract

Photosymbiosis occurs in symbiotic relationships between heterotrophs and photosymbiotic organisms, where a photosynthetic symbiont provides photosynthate to a host. While almost all known host animals are invertebrates, experiments have determined that artificial symbiotic relationships can be established between vertebrates and phototrophs. The ability to generate photosymbiotic relationships in vertebrates has important applications for medical treatments and commercial resource production.
