Abstract Metabolic exchange stabilizes photosymbioses, but carbon transfer is usually framed as exporting photosynthate from algal symbionts to heterotrophic hosts. Previous work showed that Paramecium bursaria reorganizes its lipid droplets during symbiosis and that perturbing host lipid metabolism reduces endosymbiont abundance. Here, we investigated reciprocal organic-carbon exchange between P. bursaria and its intracellular Chlorella symbionts.
