Why mixotrophy flourished in water but rarely on land
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionMixotrophy, the ability to combine photosynthesis with heterotrophic acquisition of carbon or nutrients, is now recognized as a central feature of aquatic microbial food webs and a recurrent strategy in several protist and simple animal lineages.

Modeling Plankton Mixotrophy: A Mechanistic Model Consistent with the Shuter-Type Biochemical Approach [PDF]
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.

Mixotrophy in cyanobacteria [PDF]
Current Opinion in MicrobiologyCyanobacteria evolved the oxygenic photosynthesis to generate organic matter from CO2 and sunlight, and they were responsible for the production of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. This made them a model for photosynthetic organisms, since they are easier to study than higher plants.

Mixoplankton and mixotrophy: future research priorities
Journal of Plankton Research, 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 ...

Global genetic capacity for mixotrophy in marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2016 Abstract The assimilation of organic nutrients by autotrophs, a form of mixotrophy, has been demonstrated in the globally abundant marine picocyanobacterial genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. However, the range of compounds used and the distribution of organic compound uptake genes within picocyanobacteria are unknown.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Chlorophytes and haptophytes are key contributors to global phytoplankton biomass and productivity. Mixotrophic bacterivory has been detected for both groups, but a shortage of studies with cultured representatives hinders a consistent picture of the ...

Oxygen balanced mixotrophy in microalgae
, 2021 Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that can reach higher areal productivity than terrestrial plants, do not require arable land or fresh water, and can use fertilizers with almost 100% efficiency. Microalgae-derived products are therefore considered a promising sustainable source of food and other commodities.Microalgae are commonly grown ...

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

Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants? [PDF]
New PhytolProposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.
