Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes [PDF]

Advanced Science
The duckweed family Lemnaceae, aquatic plants within the early‐diverging monocot order Alismatales, are model organisms in plant biology. Owing to their exceptionally rapid growth rates, high protein content, notable capacity for starch accumulation, and

Mixotrophy in aquatic plants, an overlooked ability [PDF]

Trends in Plant Science, 2022
Aquatic Embryophytes play a key role in the proper functioning of aquatic ecosystems, where carbon (inorganic and organic forms) is pivotal in biogeochemical processes. There is growing awareness that mixotrophy, the direct use of exogenous organic carbon by autotrophs, is a widespread phenomenon and that it has emerged recurrently in the evolution of ...

Mixotrophy in orchids: facts, questions, and perspectives. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary While orchids germinate thanks to carbon from their symbiotic fungi, variable carbon exchanges exist between adult orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi. Although some truly autotrophic orchids reward their fungi with carbon at adulthood, some species remain achlorophyllous and fully dependent on fungal ...

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 ...

Photosynthetic and nutritional plasticity in mixotrophic dinoflagellates: responses to environmental change [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Mixotrophic dinoflagellates, which combine photosynthesis with heterotrophic feeding, exhibit remarkable nutritional flexibility that enables them to thrive in diverse and often suboptimal marine environments. This dual strategy allows dynamic adjustment

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.

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.

Regulation of mixotrophy in <i>Synechocystis</i> by a rhomboid protease. [PDF]

Microbiology (Reading)
The intramembrane ‘rhomboid’ protease family is almost ubiquitous across evolution, with its well-conserved transmembrane domains typified in crystal structures of bacterial representatives, such as the Escherichia coli GlpG.

Evaluation of Mixotrophy-Associated Gene Expression in Two Species of Polar Marine Algae

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Mixotrophic flagellates can comprise significant proportions of plankton biomass in marine ecosystems. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of this ecological strategy, and the identification of major environmental factors controlling ...

Mixotrophy in Marine Microalgae to Enhance Their Bioactivity. [PDF]

Microorganisms
Photosynthetic microorganisms, such as microalgae, are remarkable for their ability to harness sunlight, fix carbon dioxide, and produce a variety of bioactive compounds. These organisms are pivotal in climate mitigation strategies as they can absorb carbon dioxide while generating valuable biomolecules.
