Marine Autotroph-Herbivore Synergies: Unravelling the Roles of Macroalgae in Marine Ecosystem Dynamics [PDF]
Biology, 2022 SIMPLE SUMMARY: Invasive species are a leading hazard to marine ecosystems worldwide, coupled with climate change. Tackling the emerging biodiversity threat to maintain the ecological balance of the largest biome in the world has now become a pivotal ...

Archives of Microbiology, 2011 The concept of autotrophy depends on the growth media for pure cultures supplying a single one carbon source for anabolism. Secondary carbon compounds added to the medium as chelators and/or vitamins confuse the meaning.

The double-edged sword of inducible defences: costs and benefits of maladaptive switching from the individual to the community level. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Phenotypic plasticity can increase individual fitness when environmental conditions change over time. Inducible defences are a striking example, allowing species to react to fluctuating predation pressure by only expressing their costly defended ...

Phototrophic biofilm assembly in microbial-mat-derived unicyanobacterial consortia: model systems for the study of autotroph-heterotroph interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Microbial autotroph-heterotroph interactions influence biogeochemical cycles on a global scale, but the diversity and complexity of natural systems and their intractability to in situ manipulation make it challenging to elucidate the principles governing

How nitrogen and phosphorus supply to nutrient‐limited autotroph communities affects herbivore growth: testing stoichiometric and co‐limitation theory across trophic levels [PDF]
, 2022 Primary producer communities are often growth-limited by essential nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The magnitude of limitation and whether N, P or both elements are limiting autotroph growth depends on the supply and ratios of these ...

Global heterotroph∶autotroph biomass ratios.
, 2014 Comparisons of modelled (open) and empirical (filled) heterotroph to autotroph biomass ratios in marine (A–F) and terrestrial (G–N) environments (Table S3). Green squares are herbivore to autotroph ratios, blue triangles are omnivore to autotroph ratios,

First Observation of an Acetate Switch in a Methanogenic Autotroph ( Methanococcus maripaludis S2)
, 2020 The transition from acetate production by a microorganism in its early growth phase to acetate re-uptake in its late growth phase has been termed acetate switch.
