Why this is here

A2 said Paulinella’s chromatophores “acquired photosynthetic cyanobacterial descendants independently of the ancient plastid endosymbiosis” and have undergone genome reduction. Its citation went to a search result, not a named work. This is the primary source for the independence and the reduction, registered for CASE-174 beside LIT-1557’s import.
