Mixoplankton and mixotrophy: future research priorities. [PDF]
J Plankton Res, 2023 Abstract Phago-mixotrophy, the combination of photoautotrophy and phagotrophy in mixoplankton, organisms that can combine both trophic strategies, have gained increasing attention over the past decade. It is now recognized that a substantial number of protistan plankton species engage in phago-mixotrophy to obtain nutrients for growth ...

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

Metabolites, 2021 Current mixotrophic culture systems for Dunaliella salina have technical limitations to achieve high growth and productivity. The purpose of this study was to optimize the mixotrophic conditions imposed by glycerol, light, and salinity that lead to the ...

About Pigmented Nanoflagellates and the Importance of Mixotrophy in a Coastal Upwelling System
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mixotrophy, understood as food ingestion and photosynthesis occurring in the same organism, is a nutrition mode relatively common in marine protists.

Harnessing Symbiotic Mixotrophic Microalgal–Bacterial Biofilms for N and P Elimination
Phycology, 2023 Symbiotic microalgal–bacterial biofilms can be very attractive for potato wastewater treatment. Microalgae remove nitrogen and phosphorus and simultaneously produce the oxygen that is required for the aerobic, heterotrophic degradation of organic ...

Nature Microbiology, 2022 Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, but single-cell measurements and model simulations reveal that this organism might obtain only 20% of the carbon required for growth from photosynthesis in the deep water column.

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 ...

Acid Tolerant and Acidophilic Microalgae: An Underexplored World of Biotechnological Opportunities
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Despite their large number and diversity, microalgae from only four genera are currently cultivated at large-scale. Three of those share common characteristics: they are cultivated mainly autotrophically and are extremophiles or tolerate “extreme ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Mixotrophy, i.e., the ability to combine phototrophy and phagotrophy in one organism, is now recognized to be widespread among photic-zone protists and to potentially modify the structure and functioning of planktonic ecosystems.

mSystems, 2021 Desert surface soils devoid of plant cover are populated by a variety of microorganisms, many with yet unresolved physiologies and lifestyles. Nevertheless, a common feature vital for these microorganisms inhabiting arid soils is their ability to survive
