A mixotroph is an organism that can use a mix of different sources of energy and carbon, instead of having a single trophic mode on the continuum from complete autotrophy at one end to heterotrophy at the other.
Mixotrophy is a common phenomenon among free-living protozoans, which usually obtain the capability of photosynthesis from symbionts that are acquired with each new generation (i.e., the photosynthetic machinery is not inherited). Symbiotic mixotrophy, however, is not “true” mixotrophy, since the combined metabolism results from a….
Nov 3, 2022 · Organisms that combine both modes, photosynthetic carbon fixation and heterotrophic assimilation of organic carbon, are referred to as mixotrophs — a metabolic strategy thought to be crucial in...

Mixotrophy. Mixotrophy is another process of a culture where microalgae combine the two modes (photoautotrophy and heterotrophy). From: Valorization of Microalgal Biomass and Wastewater Treatment, 2023
Feb 10, 2022 · The mixotrophs are from diverse classes (dictyochophytes, haptophytes, chrysophytes, bolidophytes, a dinoflagellate, and a chlorarachniophyte), many from previously uncultured clades. Grazing...

Mixotroph. Similar to CMs, the growth rates of NCMs generally increase with irradiance until saturated (e.g., Dinophysis acuminata; From: Encyclopedia of Microbiology (Fourth Edition), 2019.

Mixotrophy is a unique cultivation strategy in which microalgae are able to concurrently utilize inorganic (mainly CO 2) and organic carbon in presence of light; thus the photoautotrophic and heterotrophic growth modes take place simultaneously (Sim et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2014).
