Molecular assessment of the effect of light and heterotrophy in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
International audienceCorals acquire nutrients via the transfer of photosynthates by their endo-symbionts (autotrophy), or via zooplankton predation by the animal (heterotrophy).

Endosymbiotic Evolution of Algae, Secondary Heterotrophy and Parasitism [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Photosynthesis is a biochemical process essential for life, serving as the ultimate source of chemical energy for phototrophic and heterotrophic life forms. Since the machinery of the photosynthetic electron transport chain is quite complex and is unlikely to have evolved multiple independent times, it is believed that this machinery has been ...

On the Origin of Heterotrophy

Trends in Microbiology, 2016
The theory of autotrophic origins of life posits that the first cells on Earth satisfied their carbon needs from CO2. At hydrothermal vents, spontaneous synthesis of methane via serpentinization links an energy metabolic reaction with a geochemical homologue.

Hypothesis on the Synchronistic Evolution of Autotrophy and Heterotrophy

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2018
All life on earth requires a source of energy and organic carbon. There has been a continuous debate on whether autotrophic or heterotrophic metabolism came first. A very similar discussion exists concerning the advent of oxygenic photosynthesis and aerobic respiration.
