But when photosynthetic activity is limited (by light or nutrients), these same mixotrophic phytoplankton may harvest the nearby cultivated bacteria to keep growing. Dual strategies ...

Lacrymaria olor, a single-celled protist, can extend its neck up to 30 times its body length. These before-and-after images show how microtubules curve around the organism’s body to create ...

The mixotrophic protist Paramecium bursaria can eat bacteria or use photosynthesis to get energy and carbon. Photosynthesis occurs inside the endosymbiotic Chlorella algae (green spheres) that live ...

UBA868: Mixotrophic energy driving force in ecosystems UBA868 plays a significant role in the oxidation of sulfur compounds and the fixation of carbon dioxide, thus contributing significantly to ...

A team of international researchers led by Federico Baltar of the University of Vienna and José M González of the University of La Laguna has identified a previously unknown group of bacteria ...

It is a protist – a single-celled organism that is a eukaryote, which means it has a complex internal structure and is more related to animals, plants and fungi than it is to bacteria.

Mucospheres produced by a mixotrophic protist impact ocean carbon cycling. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28867-8 ...

Mixotrophic protists are able to photosynthesize and consume other organisms, unlike phytoplankton, which rely solely on photosynthesis for energy. Michaela Larsson, the first author of the paper, ...
