Utilising microalgal mixotrophy to maximise larval nutrition
Mussel aquaculture is a low carbon source of protein and the mussel aquaculture industry in Scotland aims to double production. Reliance upon wild spat collection means that the industry is currently ‘at the mercy’ of spatially and temporally variable supply, with only 40% of spat collection sites …

The Assimilation of Glucose by Phytoplankton: A Potentially Common Adaptation Under Multiple Irradiance and Field Conditions
… phytoplankton species under varying conditions. Mixotrophy is assumed to be a competitive advantage, especially in environments where inorganic resources and light limit photosynthesis. Under these conditions mixotrophy may enhance algal growth, cellular pigment production and photosynthetic …

Feeding, Dark Survival, and Foreign Organelle Retention in an Antarctic Dinoflagellate
… prey is an ecologically important example of mixotrophy and also represents a potential pathway for the symbiogenetic evolution of novel permanent plastids. A gymnodinoid dinoflagellate isolated from the Ross Sea, Antarctica (RSD) retains plastids from its haptophyte prey Phaeocystis …

Prymnesium parvum effects on green algae, cladocerans and fish in field and laboratory studies.
… environmental conditions, grazing pressure, mixotrophy and toxin production.

Diversity, variability and persistence elements for a non-equilibrium theory of eco-evolutionary dynamics
… environmental variability with latitude. Mixotrophy, by linking several feeding strategies in a food web, internally drives community dynamics to the edge of instability while maximizing network complexity. In contrast, an externally generated major perturbation, operating through …

Investigating cultivation and biorefinery process techniques on the microalgae Porphyridium aerugineum and Chromochloris zofingiensis
… insight for larger industrial applications of mixotrophy as a method of initiating carotenogenesis.<br/>After harvesting via membrane filtration and centrifugation, five cell disruption techniques were tested where optimal selective disruption was achieved using bead beating (medium sized …

Grazing on <i>Synechococcus spp.</i> by the Red-Tide Dinoflagellate <i>Karenia brevis</i>: Implications for Bloom Dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico
… <em>K. brevis</em>, are known to be capable of mixotrophy. This dissertation reports field and laboratory results demonstrating that natural bloom populations and <em>K. brevis</em>isolates from the West Florida Shelf (WFS) can ingest a WFS <em>Synechococcus</em> isolate. Maximum <em>K. …

Extrémne abiotické podmienky ako determinanty štruktúry fytoplanktónu vysokohorských jazier
Na svete existuje množstvo oblastí s extrémnymi prírodnými podmienkami. Jednými z nich sú vysokohorské jazerá, lokalizované nad hornou hranicou lesa. Bakalárska práca predstavuje hlavné abiotické podmienky, ako determinanty štruktúry fytoplanktónu vysokohorských jazier. Ten sa musí vyrovnať s …
