Mixotrophy in Chlorophytes and Haptophytes—Effect of Irradiance, Macronutrient, Micronutrient and Vitamin Limitation

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1561-1577, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Uncovering the Community Structure and Adaptive Characteristics of Soil Protists Across Natural, Semi‐Natural and Highly Degraded Habitats

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Habitat type influences protistan diversity and community structure and its effect is stronger than that of geographic distance at large spatial scales. We revealed 9 ecological clusters of soil protists and their environmental preferences and found protistan consumers foraging targets may concentrate under degraded environments.

Novel Hydrurus species (Chrysophyceae) and their adaptations to high‐altitude European and Arctic snowfields

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 818-845, June 2026.
Abstract Colored snow caused by green algae (Chlorophyceae) is well known, but melting snowpacks can also harbor golden‐brown blooms consisting of Chrysophyceae. We collected 14 samples of cryoflora in the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the High Tatras in Slovakia, and in Arctic Svalbard. Eight laboratory unicellular flagellated strains were established from

Oxygen balanced mixotrophy in microalgae

open access: yes, 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 ...

A unique sessile loricate euglenid, Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Euglenophyta, Phacaceae), from South Africa: Evolutionary implications

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 846-854, June 2026.
Abstract In this paper, we describe Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Phacaceae), a sessile loricate euglenid that differs from all known loricate taxa by its unique combination of the presence of a lorica, monad morphology, sessile habit, and phylogenetic position within the Phacaceae. Populations of this species inhabit two turbid, silt‐rich waterbodies,

Production of Cyanotoxins by Microcystis aeruginosa Mediates Interactions with the Mixotrophic Flagellate Cryptomonas

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Eutrophication of inland waters is expected to increase the frequency and severity of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Toxin-production associated with HABs has negative effects on human health and aquatic ecosystem functioning.

Phenylalanine 15N enrichment likely indicates fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition in mycoheterotrophic plants across fungal guilds

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3990-4001, June 2026.
Summary Beyond fully mycoheterotrophic plants, many green plants may also obtain carbon from fungal partners. However, bulk stable isotope analyses often lack sufficient resolution in arbuscular mycorrhizal and rhizoctonia‐associated orchid systems, limiting inference of fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition.

Taxonomy as an indicator of trophic diversity in microbial eukaryotic plankton in an Arctic outflow gateway

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionMarine microbial eukaryotes are major contributors to oceanic biodiversity and biogeochemical cycling in both surface and deep waters, yet their functional diversity and distribution remain incompletely understood.
