Mixotrophy in diatoms: Molecular mechanism and industrial potential [PDF]
Physiologia Plantarum, 2021 AbstractDiatoms are microalgae well known for their high variability and high primary productivity, being responsible for about 20% of the annual global carbon fixation. Moreover, they are interesting as potential feedstocks for the production of biofuels and high‐value lipids and carotenoids.

Nuclear genome assembly and annotation for the phagotrophic green alga Nephroselmis pyriformis. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Prasinophytes are a globally distributed, diverse polyphyletic group of photosynthetic green algae, displaying a combination of presumably ancestral traits for the Chloroplastida. The Nephroselmidophyceae is a prasinophyte clade comprising small biflagellate algae that includes the marine mixoplankton Nephroselmis pyriformis, which was ...

Mixotrophy in the Marine Plankton
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2017 Mixotrophs are important components of the bacterioplankton, phytoplankton, microzooplankton, and (sometimes) zooplankton in coastal and oceanic waters. Bacterivory among the phytoplankton may be important for alleviating inorganic nutrient stress and may increase primary production in oligotrophic waters.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Although Haematococcus lacustris has been developed for astaxanthin production for decades, the production cost is still high. In order to modify the production processes, we proposed a novel strategy of cultivation, featured by sequential indoor ...

Biophysical Aspects of Resource Acquisition and Competition in Algal Mixotrophs [PDF]
, 2010 Mixotrophic organisms combine autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition and are abundant in both freshwater and marine environments. Recent observations indicate that mixotrophs constitute a large fraction of the biomass, bacterivory, and primary ...

On the pathways feeding the H₂ production process in nutrient-replete, hypoxic conditions : commentary on the article 'Low oxygen levels contribute to improve photohydrogen production in mixotrophic non-stressed Chlamydomonas cultures', by Jurado-Oller et al., Biotechnology for Biofuels, published September 7, 2015; 8:149 [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Under low O-2 concentration ( hypoxia) and low light, Chlamydomonas cells can produce H-2 gas in nutrient-replete conditions. This process is hindered by the presence of O-2, which inactivates the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzyme responsible for H-2

Mixotrophy drives niche expansion of verrucomicrobial methanotrophs [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2017 Abstract Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria have evolved a specialist lifestyle dependent on consumption of methane and other short-chain carbon compounds. However, their apparent substrate specialism runs contrary to the high relative abundance of these microorganisms in dynamic environments, where the availability of methane and oxygen ...
