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 ...

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

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

Mixotrophy in depth

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.

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.

Enhanced β-carotene and Biomass Production by Induced Mixotrophy in Dunaliella salina across a Combined Strategy of Glycerol, Salinity, and Light

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
