Distribution of Mixotrophy and Desiccation Survival Mechanisms across Microbial Genomes in an Arid Biological Soil Crust Community

open access: yesmSystems, 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

The role of mixotrophic protists in the biological carbon pump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The traditional view of the planktonic food web describes consumption of inorganic nutrients by photoautotrophic phytoplankton, which in turn supports zooplankton and ultimately higher trophic levels.

Effect of cultivation mode on the production of docosahexaenoic acid by Tisochrysis lutea

open access: yesAMB 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.

Mycorrhizal Communities and Isotope Signatures in Two Partially Mycoheterotrophic Orchids

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Mixotrophy in diatoms: Molecular mechanism and industrial potential [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiologia 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.

Temporal Variability of Planktonic Ciliates in a Coastal Oligotrophic Environment: Mixotrophy, Size Classes and Vertical Distribution

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The temporal variability of planktonic ciliates was studied in an extreme oligotrophic environment with special focus on trophic modes and size classes. Abundance, biomass, size classes, mixotrophy vs.

Single-Cell View of Carbon and Nitrogen Acquisition in the Mixotrophic Alga Prymnesium parvum (Haptophyta) Inferred From Stable Isotope Tracers and NanoSIMS

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Nutritional modes of unicellular eukaryotes range from pure photoautotrophy of some phytoplankton to pure heterotrophy of species typically called protozoa.

Sequential Continuous Mixotrophic and Phototrophic Cultivation Might Be a Cost-Effective Strategy for Astaxanthin Production From the Microalga Haematococcus lacustris

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Nutrient availability is the main driver of nanophytoplankton mixotrophy across North American lakes

open access: yes, 2023
International audienceMixotrophy is recognized as an important factor for nanophytoplankton community assemblage in natural systems. Yet there has been limited research on the abiotic and biotic factors affecting the prevalence of phago-mixotrophy in ...
