Q: Bored of photosynthesis and want to eat seaweed instead? What do you do? A: acquire an alginate lyase gene from bacteria, and massively duplicate & neofunctionalise it to generate you own alginate catabolism system. Cool paper from Jedd lab in @plosbiology.org - journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
