Seasonal and Spatial Variations in Synechococcus Abundance and Diversity Throughout the Gullmar Fjord, Swedish Skagerrak

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The picophytoplankton Synechococcus is a globally abundant autotroph that contributes significantly to primary production in the oceans and coastal areas.

Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.

Autotrophic yeast

Nature Communications
Yeast is a widely used cell factory for the conversion of sugar into fuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Establishing yeast as being autotrophic can enable it to grow solely on CO(2) and light, and hereby yeast can be used as a wider platform for transition to a sustainable society.

Changes in photosynthesis and grazing facilitate growth of a mixotrophic protist under ocean acidification and warming

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2574-2587, September 2026.
Grazing rates of Ochromonas CCMP2951 expressed as carbon obtained per mean cell volume (a) and Caut/het‐photosynthetically fixed carbon divided by carbon obtained through grazing (b) in the four experimental treatments. Summary Mixotrophic protists capable of both photosynthesis and phagotrophy are key members of marine plankton communities.

Heterotroph Interactions Alter Prochlorococcus Transcriptome Dynamics during Extended Periods of Darkness

mSystems, 2018
Microbes evolve within complex ecological communities where biotic interactions impact both individual cells and the environment as a whole. Here we examine how cellular regulation in the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is influenced by a ...

Energy Allocation Explains How Protozoan Phenotypic Traits Change in Response to Temperature and Resource Supply

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
When cultures of the microorganism Tetrahymena pyriformis are transferred to environments with different temperature and resource levels, the phenotypic traits of the microorganisms—including cell size, metabolic rate, and movement speed—change.

Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.

The dual role of detritus as resource and habitat: integrating non‐trophic processes to ecosystem dynamics

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The diversity of ecological interactions, both trophic and non‐trophic, is central to understanding the assembly of communities. However, we have yet to study non‐trophic processes through their action on ecosystem compartments such as detritus involved in both recycling and habitat provisioning.

Global Carbon Investment in Terrestrial Biological Nitrogen Fixation

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) provides the N needed to produce proteins and other biological building blocks, helping feed humanity and mitigate climate change. Due to its high energetic cost compared to other forms of N acquisition, biotic investment in BNF indicates N limitation. Globally gridded BNF flux data provide an opportunity

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...
