A two-stage strategy for methanogenesis suppression and rapid acetogenic biofilm formation in microbial electrosynthesis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
The practical implementation of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is currently limited by the slow microbial colonisation of the electrode and the need to suppress methanogenic activity.

Mixotrophy for carbon-conserving waste upcycling. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology
Modern chemical manufacturing, on which human quality of life depends, is unsustainable; alternative production routes must be developed. Electrochemical and biological processes offer promise for upgrading waste streams, including recalcitrant carbon ...

Unveiling the underlying molecular mechanisms of high lutein production efficiency in Chlorella sorokiniana FZU60 under a mixotrophy/photoautotrophy two-stage strategy by transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical analyses [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Chlorella sorokiniana FZU60 is a promising lutein producing microalga. A mixotrophy/photoautotrophy two-stage strategy can achieve high biomass concentration at stage 1 and high lutein content at stage 2, leading to excellent lutein production

Latitude- and depth-driven divergence in protist trophic strategies revealed by a machine learning model [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Protists are ubiquitous across the ocean, holding different roles in the food web depending on their trophic capabilities. Many protists are mixotrophs, which are capable of both photosynthesizing and ingesting prey.

Growth parameters and responses of green algae across a gradient of phototrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic conditions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Many studies have shown that algal growth is enhanced by organic carbon and algal mixotrophy is relevant for physiology and commercial cultivation. Most studies have tested only a single organic carbon concentration and report different growth parameters

Consequences of Mixotrophy on Cell Energetic Metabolism in Microchloropsis gaditana Revealed by Genetic Engineering and Metabolic Approaches

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Algae belonging to the Microchloropsis genus are promising organisms for biotech purposes, being able to accumulate large amounts of lipid reserves. These organisms adapt to different trophic conditions, thriving in strict photoautotrophic conditions, as

Investigation of carbon and energy metabolic mechanism of mixotrophy in Chromochloris zofingiensis

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Mixotrophy can confer a higher growth rate than the sum of photoautotrophy and heterotrophy in many microalgal species. Thus, it has been applied to biodiesel production and wastewater utilization.

Acetate and bicarbonate assimilation and metabolite formation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: a 13C-NMR study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Cellular metabolite analyses by (13)C-NMR showed that C. reinhardtii cells assimilate acetate at a faster rate in heterotrophy than in mixotrophy. While heterotrophic cells produced bicarbonate and CO2aq, mixotrophy cells produced bicarbonate alone as ...

Community dynamics and co-occurrence relationships of pelagic ciliates and their potential prey at a coastal and an offshore station in the ultra-oligotrophic Eastern Mediterranean Sea

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Ciliates have been recognized as one of the major components of the microbial food web, especially in ultra-oligotrophic waters, such as the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, where nutrients are scarce and the microbial community is dominated by pico- and nano ...
