Harnessing the power of microbial autotrophy
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2016 Autotrophic microorganisms convert CO2 into biomass by deriving energy from light or inorganic electron donors. These CO2-fixing microorganisms have a large, but so far only partially realized, potential for the sustainable production of chemicals and biofuels.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Photosynthesis competent autotrophy should be established during the postgerminative stage of plant growth. Among the multiple factors, light plays a decisive role in the switch from heterotrophic to autotrophic growth. Under dark condition, the rapeseed

Communications Biology, 2021 Ulrike Braeckman et al. use in situ benthic community and benthic biogeochemistry measurements in Potter Cove on the Antarctic Peninsula to show that climate-related glacial melt disturbance shifts benthic communities from net autotrophy to heterotrophy.

The evolution of autotrophy in relation to phosphorus requirement [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2013 The evolution of autotrophy is considered in relation to the availability of phosphorus (P), the ultimate elemental resource limiting biological productivity through Earth's history. Work on microbes and plants is emphasized, dealing in turn with the main uses for P in cells, namely nucleic acids, phospholipids, and water-soluble low molecular mass ...

Net autotrophy and heterotrophy in the Pontevedra Ria upwelling system (NW Iberian margin)
Ciencias Marinas, 2005 A non-stationary state mass balance of the type advocated by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme/Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (IGBP/LOICZ) has been used to assess net ecosystem metabolism in the Pontevedra Ria (NW Spain), a ...

Concomitant knockout of target and transporter genes in filamentous fungi by genome co‐editing
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 In most countries, genetically modified microorganisms are not approved for use for fermentation in the food industry. Therefore, random mutagenesis and subsequent screening are performed to improve the productivities of valuable metabolites and enzymes ...

, 2022 For Clostridium ljungdahlii, the RNF complex plays a key role for energy conversion from gaseous substrates such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. In a previous study, a disruption of RNF-complex genes led to the loss of autotrophy, while heterotrophy was ...

Physiology, phylogeny, and LUCA
Microbial Cell, 2016 Genomes record their own history. But if we want to look all the way back to life’s beginnings some 4 billion years ago, the record of microbial evolution that is preserved in prokaryotic genomes is not easy to read. Microbiology has a lot in common with
