Natural Polyhydroxyalkanoates—An Overview of Bacterial Production Methods
MoleculesPolyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellular biopolymers that microorganisms use for energy and carbon storage. They are mechanically similar to petrochemical plastics when chemically extracted, but are completely biodegradable.

Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals
Oceans, 2022 Studies on the trophic ecology of scleractinian corals often include stable isotope analyses of tissue and symbiont carbon and nitrogen. These approaches have provided critical insights into the trophic sources and sinks that are essential to ...

Seabird-Derived Nutrients Supply Modulates the Trophic Strategies of Mixotrophic Corals
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The ability of corals to modulate their nutrition strategy in response to variable nutrient supply remains poorly understood, limiting our understanding of energy flow in coral reef ecosystems and thus our comprehension of their resilience to global ...

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.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 ...

Nitrogen Fixation Aligns with nifH Abundance and Expression in Two Coral Trophic Functional Groups
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Microbial nitrogen fixation (diazotrophy) is a functional trait widely associated with tropical reef-building (scleractinian) corals. While the integral role of nitrogen fixation in coral nutrient dynamics is recognized, its ecological significance ...
