Selective nutrient incorporation may underestimate heterotrophy of a mixotrophic reef-building coral [PDF]
Communications BiologyMixotrophic reef-building corals acquire nutrition via photosynthate translocation from endosymbiotic microalgae and by heterotrophic prey/particle capture.

Transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular mechanism of differences in growth between photoautotrophy and heterotrophy in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceBackgroundThe green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can grow photoautotrophically utilizing light and CO2, and heterotrophically utilizing acetate. The physiological and biochemical responses of autotrophy and heterotrophy are different in C. reinhardtii.

Heterotrophy among Cyanobacteria
ACS Omega, 2023 Cyanobacteria have been studied in recent decades to investigate the principle mechanisms of plant-type oxygenic photosynthesis, as they are the inventors of this process, and their cultivation and research is much easier compared to land plants ...

Potential increasing dominance of heterotrophy in the global ocean [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Autotrophy is largely resource-limited in the modern ocean. Paleo evidence indicates this was not necessarily the case in warmer climates, and modern observations as well as standard metabolic theory suggest continued ocean warming could shift global ...

Unveiling the importance of heterotrophy for coral symbiosis under heat stress. [PDF]
mBioGlobal warming endangers reef-building corals as they lose their photosynthetic symbionts, which limits their ability to feed autotrophically. Consequently, heterotrophy, the capture of zooplankton, can become crucial for the energy budget of heat ...

Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Growth Conditions Modify Biomolecole Production in the Microalga Galdieria sulphuraria (Cyanidiophyceae, Rhodophyta) [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 Algae have multiple similarities with fungi, with both belonging to the Thallophyte, a polyphyletic group of non-mobile organisms grouped together on the basis of similar characteristics, but not sharing a common ancestor.

Heterotrophy of Oceanic Particulate Organic Matter Elevates Net Ecosystem Calcification
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Coral reef calcification is expected to decline due to climate change stressors such as ocean acidification and warming. Projections of future coral reef health are based on our understanding of the environmental drivers that affect calcification and ...
