There is increasing awareness that many terrestrial and aquatic organisms are not strictly
heterotrophic or autotrophic but rather mixotrophic. Mixotrophy is an intermediate nutritional …

A historical retrospect and a taxonomic update will deal with Sebacina sl and s. str.,
Craterocolla, Efibulobasidium, Serendipita, Tremellodendron, Tremelloscypha …

Mixotrophy is among the most successful nutritional strategies in terrestrial and marine
ecosystems. The ability of organisms to supplement primary nutritional modes along …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a practical and theoretical framework for the study
of the ecophysiology of mycoheterotrophic plants. We accomplish this by providing a …

Temporal turnover events in biotic interactions involving plants are rarely assessed,
although such changes might afford a considerable acclimation potential to the plant. This …

Since the early colonization of land, plants depend, to various extents, on mycorrhizal fungi
to meet their nutrient demands. In most mycorrhizal symbioses, plants provide sugars …

Reef‐building corals are mixotrophic organisms that can obtain nutrition from endosymbiotic
microalgae (autotrophy) and particle capture (heterotrophy). Heterotrophic nutrition is highly …

Some forest plants adapt to shade by mixotrophy, ie, they obtain carbon both from
photosynthesis and from their root mycorrhizal fungi. Fully achlorophyllous species using …

Mycoheterotrophic plants (MHPs) are leafless, achlorophyllous, and completely dependent
on mycorrhizal fungi for their carbon supply. Mycorrhizal symbiosis is a mutualistic …

Some forest understorey plants recover carbon (C) not only from their own photosynthesis,
but also from mycorrhizal fungi colonizing their roots. How these mixotrophic plants use the …
