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

Oxygen Balanced Mixotrophy under Day–Night Cycles [PDF]
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2020 Using sunlight to fuel photosynthesis exposes microalgae to day–night cycles. Under day–night cycles microalgae tend to synchronize their metabolism by optimizing light utilization during daytime. During night storage compounds are consumed, leading to biomass losses and demand of O2.

Further advances in orchid mycorrhizal research [PDF]
, 2007 Orchid mycorrhizas are mutualistic interactions between fungi and members of the Orchidaceae, the world’s largest plant family. The majority of the world’s orchids are photosynthetic, a small number of species are myco-heterotrophic throughout their ...

Mycorrhizal Communities and Isotope Signatures in Two Partially Mycoheterotrophic Orchids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Partial mycoheterotrophy, the ability of plants to obtain carbon from fungi throughout their life cycle in combination with photosynthesis, appears to be more common within the Plant Kingdom than previously anticipated.

Mycorrhizal associations and trophic modes in coexisting orchids: an ecological continuum between auto- and mixotrophy [PDF]
, 2017 Two distinct nutritional syndromes have been described in temperate green orchids. Most orchids form mycorrhizas with rhizoctonia fungi and are considered autotrophic.

Autotrophic and heterotrophic acquisition of carbon and nitrogen by a mixotrophic chrysophyte established through stable isotope analysis [PDF]
, 2017 Collectively, phagotrophic algae (mixotrophs) form a functional continuum of nutritional modes between autotrophy and heterotrophy, but the specific physiological benefits of mixotrophic nutrition differ among taxa. Ochromonas spp.

Effect of cultivation mode on the production of docosahexaenoic acid by Tisochrysis lutea
AMB Express, 2018 In this study, Tisochrysis lutea was cultivated in mixotrophic and heterotrophic cultures with glycerol as a carbon source and with glucose and acetate for comparison; autotrophic cultivation was the control group without a carbon source.

Effects of microzooplankton and mixotrophy in an experimental planktonic food web [PDF]
, 2004 Microzooplankton have received increased attention as an important trophic link between the microbial loop and calanoid copepods. On the basis of food size spectra overlap in some microzooplankton groups and calanoid copepods, however, such ...
