  Not in the paper data at least. It does have plastids which I had to look up (been a while since gen bio). So triple endosymbiont actually. Again if data holds to further scrutiny.

    I think plastid is the generic term for that organelle family and chloroplasts are plastids specialized for photosynthesis.
    So they probably don’t want to state the plastids have a function they havent confirmed or something like that

      You are correct about the definitions but I’d imagine chloroplasts have some relatively standard assays which would have been tried, though this isn’t really my area of expertise.
