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.

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.

Symbiont starvation affects the stability of the coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the coral-Symbiodiniaceae association has been identified as a major cause of coral reef decline worldwide. When symbiont functions are compromised, corals receive fewer photosynthetic products from their symbionts and ...

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 ...

Symbiodiniaceae Are the First Site of Heterotrophic Nitrogen Assimilation in Reef-Building Corals
mBio, 2022 Coral reefs depend on the highly optimized mutualistic relationship between corals and Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates. Both partners exchange nutrients obtained through heterotrophy of the host and autotrophy of the symbionts.
