Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1561-1577, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Ecological Processes Underpinning Microbial Variability in Archean Granitoids Beneath the Deccan Traps: Evidence From Deep Drilling in Koyna, India

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Deep biosphere hosted by Archean granitoid basement of Deccan Traps showed depth‐wise microbial partitioning. Limited dispersion and variable selection control community assembly. Fewer abundant bacterial taxa were ubiquitous, while large numbers of rare taxa remained localized.

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Modulates Iron Distribution and Vacuolar Iron Transporter Expression in Tomato, Whereas Iron Limitation Reduces Mycorrhization

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3290-3305, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved highly efficient strategies to maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. In this study, we investigate the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis on the Fe‐deficiency response and ionomic profile of tomato plants, as well as how Fe availability affects AM symbiosis.

Accounting for littoral primary production by periphyton shifts a highly humic boreal lake towards net autotrophy

, 2016
1. The prevailing view that many humic lakes are net heterotrophic is commonly based on pelagicmeasurements alone. Poor light conditions in humic lakes are assumed to constrain littoral primaryproduction (PP), such that the littoral zone has been ...

Interaction between CO2-consuming autotrophy and CO2-producing heterotrophy in non-axenic phototrophic biofilms.

PLoS ONE, 2021
As the effects of climate change become increasingly evident, the need for effective CO2 management is clear. Microalgae are well-suited for CO2 sequestration, given their ability to rapidly uptake and fix CO2.

Oxygen Supply of Islets of Langerhans by Photosynthetically Active Microalgae in Bioprinted Co‐Cultures Maintains Their Function in a Hypoxic Environment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 19, 22 May 2026.
This study developed a bioprinted co‐culture system embedding rat pancreatic islets and Scenedesmus sp. microalgae spatially defined in close vicinity. Red light was found optimal to ensure microalgal photosynthesis while maintaining islet viability and functionality. A tailored co‐culture medium supported both cell types.

Engineering a Synthetic Formatotrophic Yeast With Enhanced Growth Capacity on Formate

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Engineering Yeast for Growth on Formate and Methanol via Serine‐Centered C1 Coupling. By engineering serine metabolism and remodeling the rGly pathway, we rendered yeast growth strictly dependent on formate. This synthetic formatotrophy enables growth on dual‐C1 substrates by channeling formate into the central metabolism via serine deaminases and ...

Winter Mixing Controls Carbon Sequestration by the Biological Pump in the Subpolar North Atlantic

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Year‐round, full water‐column hydrodynamic and biogeochemical observations at the Ocean Observatories Initiative's Irminger Sea Array provide a unique opportunity to examine the drivers of ocean carbon sequestration via the biological carbon pump in a region with deep winter convection.

Drivers of phenological transitions in the seedling life stage

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1179-1192, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant functional ecology research has primarily focused on juvenile and adult plants even though regeneration from seed can be the most consequential life‐history bottleneck with cascading influence on later stages of growth and reproduction.

Switch from heterotrophy to autotrophy of apple cotyledons depends on NO signal [PDF]

Planta, 2015
NO accelerates transition of germinated embryos from heterotrophy to autotrophy by stimulation of chloroplasts maturation. NO-mediated autotrophy of apple seedlings correlates to increased content of RuBisCO small subunit and improvement of parameters of chlorophyll a fluorescence.
