A metaproteomic survey of surface coastal waters near Palmer Station on the Antarctic Peninsula, West Antarctica, was performed, revealing marked differences in the functional capacity of summer and winter communities of bacterioplankton. Proteins from Flavobacteria were more abundant in the summer metaproteome, whereas winter was characterized by proteins from ammonia-oxidizing Marine Group I Crenarchaeota. Proteins prevalent in both seasons were from SAR11 and Rhodobacterales clades of Alphaproteobacteria, as well as many lineages of Gammaproteobacteria. The metaproteome data were used to elucidate the main metabolic and energy generation pathways and transport processes occurring at the microbial level in each season. In summer, autotrophic carbon assimilation appears to be driven by oxygenic photoautotrophy, consistent with high light availability and intensity. In contrast, during the dark polar winter, the metaproteome supported the occurrence of chemolithoautotrophy via the ...

Heterotrophic flagellates play fundamental roles in marine ecosystems as picoplankton grazers. This recognized importance contrasts with our ignorance of the taxonomic composition of this functional group, which remains mostly unidentified by microscopical and culturing approaches. Recent molecular marine surveys based on 18S rDNA genes have retrieved many sequences unrelated to cultured organisms and marine stramenopiles were among the first reported uncultured eukaryotes. However, little is known about the organisms corresponding to these sequences. Here we determine the abundance of several marine stramenopile lineages in surface marine waters using molecular probes and fluorescent in situ hybridization. We show that these protists are free-living bacterivorous heterotrophic flagellates. They were widely distributed, occurring in the five world oceans, and accounted for a significant fraction (up to 35%) of heterotrophic flagellates in diverse geographic regions. A single group, MAST-4, ...

Nicole is interested in developing new applications of stable isotopes and other source-sink tracers to the study of plants and mycorrhizal fungi. For her Ph.D she focused mainly on the use of stable isotopes to examine mycoheterotrophic food-webs. The physiology of mycoheterotrophic plants remained nearly entirely unexplained until the relatively recent application of stable isotope analyses to plant ecology. The analysis of the natural abundance of carbon (13C:12C) and nitrogen (15N:14N) stable isotopes in plants are powerful tools to infer strategies of resource acquisition and metabolic pathways in plants. The stable isotope signatures of mycoheterotrophic plants seem to best fit an isotope food-chain model where the plants stable isotope signatures reflect those of their host fungi, their ultimate nutrient source. Generally, the source of a nutrient is left depleted in the heavy isotope compared to its sink. For instance, previous work has shown that fully mycoheterotrophic plants that ...

There are generally two contrasting alternatives to what limits recruitment in plants, namely the availability of seeds (seed limitation) or the quality or quantity of suitable sites (microsite limitation). Dust seeds, the smallest existing seeds, lack or have minimal nutrient reserves. During germination and initial development they consequently parasitize on mycorrhizal fungi. This is called mycoheterotrophy, and can vary in degree of fungal dependency in adult plants from full, partial or initial mycoheterotrophy.. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the recruitment ecology of mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae (tribe Pyroleae) species with dust seeds, and to determine what limits their recruitment. The investigated species were: Chimaphila umbellata, Moneses uniflora, Orthilia secunda, Pyrola chlorantha, P. minor and P. rotundifolia. This aim was achieved by combining field experiments (seed sowing) with isotope analysis and fungal host pyrosequencing.. Results provide evidence that the ...

1. The type of metabolism adopted by Pseudomonas oxalaticus during growth on a variety of carbon sources was studied. 2. The only substrate upon which autotrophic growth was observed is formate. 3. In mixtures of formate and those substrates upon which the organism can grow faster than on formate, e.g. succinate, lactate or citrate, heterotrophic metabolism results. 4. In mixtures of formate and those substrates upon which the organism can grow at a similar rate to that on formate, e.g. glycollate or glyoxylate, the predominant mode of metabolism adopted is heterotrophic utilization of the C2 substrate coupled with oxidation of formate as ancillary energy source. 5. P. oxalaticus grows on oxalate 30% slower than on formate. In mixtures of formate and oxalate, the predominant mode of metabolism adopted is autotrophic utilization of formate coupled with oxidation of oxalate as ancillary energy source. 6. In mixtures of formate and those substrates upon which the organism grows at a much lower rate ...

Organic matter is a small but active part of the global carbon cycle. About one third is stored in the oceans where it has a relatively short residence time. The rest is found in the terrestrial biomass and in the soil. Aquatic systems exchange C02 with the atmosphere. Autotrophic organisms fix C02 into their biomass, while heterotrophic organisms respire C02 when utilising organic matter. Systems with large supply of organic matter by inflow can be net heterotrophic, which thus release more C02 than what they fix.. Two systems are studied, the Lake Ortrasket in northern Sweden and the Baltic Sea. In the Baltic primary production is the main source of organic matter, while in the lake dissolved organic matter from inflow dominates. Other characteristics of the Baltic Sea are that it is brackish and has a long residence time compared to the freshwater lake. These systems are studied with different types of models.. For the Baltic proper deep water, an inverse model of the water, salt and heat ...

Organisms in the food chain are categorized into three basic nutritional groups in reference to what kind of carbon, energy, or electron source is utilized to make energy. Heterotrophic organisms use organic substrates and autotrophic organisms use inorganic substrates to obtain carbon. The reducing equivalent source is how organisms get electrons to reduce for biological processes. Lithotrophic organisms utilize inorganic compounds to get electrons and organotrophic organisms use organic compounds to get electrons necessary for biological processes. It is common to find autotrophic lithotrophic organisms or those that use an inorganic source to obtain electrons and carbon dioxide to obtain carbon. The energy source is how an organism makes ATP, the molecules that fuel biosynthetic pathways for energy. Phototrophic organisms use light energy and chemotrophic organisms, like those found near hydrothermal vents, use energy from chemical sources.. Organisms like the photolithotrophic cyanobacteria, ...

In most open ocean ecosystems only a small fraction of organic matter reaches the seafloor. Biological activity in the photic zone of most water bodies tends to recycle material so well that only a small fraction of organic matter ever sinks out of that top photosynthetic layer. Remineralization within this top layer occurs rapidly and due to the higher concentrations of organisms and the availability of light, those remineralized nutrients are often taken up by autotrophs just as rapidly as they are released. What fraction does escape varies depending on the location of interest. For example, in the North Sea, values of carbon deposition are ~1% of primary production[9] while that value is ,0.5% in the open oceans on average.[10] Therefore, most of nutrients remain in the water column, recycled by the biota. Heterotrophic organisms will utilize the materials produced by the autotrophic (and chemotrophic) organisms and via respiration will remineralize the compounds from the organic form back to ...

Living systems require free energy and matter to maintain order, to grow, and to reproduce. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms, but they cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Organisms employ various strategies that have been conserved through evolution to capture, use, and store free energy. Autotrophic organisms capture free energy from the environment through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis, whereas heterotrophic organisms harvest free energy from carbon compounds produced by other organisms. In multicellular plants, photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts within cells. The process of photosynthesis occurs in a series of enzyme-mediated steps that capture light energy to build energy-rich carbohydrates ...

any member of the animal kingdom (kingdom Animalia), as distinguished from organisms of the plant kingdom (kingdom Plantae) and the kingdoms Fungi, Protista, and Monera in the five-kingdom system of classification. (Another classification system, suggested by genetic sequencing studies, places animals with plants and some other forms in a larger taxonomic unit called the eukarya to distinguish them from the prokaryotic bacteria and archaea, or ancient bacteria.). Essentially, animals are many-celled heterotrophic organisms. Plants and algae characteristically manufacture their food from inorganic substances (usually by photosynthesis); animals must secure food already organized into organic substances. They are dependent upon photosynthetic organisms, which provide oxygen as a byproduct and are the ultimate source of all their food. Animals (as well as plants) provide carbon dioxide through respiration and the decomposition of their dead bodies (see carbon cycle; nitrogen cycle). In addition, ...

My thesis intended to develop methods to facilitate the study of soil eukaryotic microbes as well as to enhance the understanding of their ecological role in the soil food web and nutrient cycles of agroecosystems. A cell extraction method was first developed and evaluated for its quantitative and qualitative ability to recover eukaryotic microbial cells in a particle free suspension. Cells were sorted based on their natural fluorescence by mean of flow cytometry, thus allowing the separation of photo-autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms. Deep molecular characterisation based on a multiple barcoding approach was also applied to assess the long term effect of crop fertilisation on the diversity and community composition of different groups of soil eukaryotic microbes. The comparison between group specific barcodes and a universal eukaryotic barcode further aimed to challenge the accuracy of the latter approach to measure soil microbial eukaryotic diversity. At a final stage, the diversity and ...

Low molecular weight organic carbon compounds are potentially important carbon and energy substrates to heterotrophic production in the aquatic environment. We studied the occurrence of dissolved free amino acids (AA), monosaccharides (CHO), and carboxylic acids (CA) in the subarctic Lake Diktar-Erik. The lake is unproductive with slightly humic water, and receives water via one major inlet stream draining a birch forest environment. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the inlet stream was strongly correlated with the discharge. This relationship changed from season to season, indicating changes in the sources of the DOC entering the stream. AA and CHO each accounted for an average of less than 0.5% of the DOC. After high discharge events during the ice-free period, AA and CHO occurred in especially high concentrations. CA occurred in higher concentrations during the ice-free period, when it generally accounted for 20-30% of the DOC pool. The CA content relative to the total ...

Bacteria (and archaea) are also capable of converting nitrogen gas to ammonium (often referred to as fixing nitrogen) but they do it at normal temperatures and under 1 atmosphere of pressure. In these organisms the process is also energy intensive but the energy is supplied in the form of ATP and the catalyst is an enzyme complex containing 2 proteins, dinitrogenase and dinitrigenase reductase. This capacity is found in both bacteria and archaea in diverse environments including the root nodules of so called nitrogen fixing plants such as clover and soy. Bacteria, not the plants, fix the nitrogen ...

Souring of oil is exacerbated by the common practice of pumping water into older oil fields to increase the pressure in the fields as a way to increase oil recovery. Depending on the source of the water used, this practice can introduce large quantities of sulfate (SO4) into the oil/water mixture. Any oxygen present in the water when it is first pumped underground is rapidly consumed by microbial activity. Once the oxygen is gone, anaerobic microbes can contiune to extract energy from the organic mater present by using compounds other than oxygen as terminal electron acceptors. Sulfate reducing bacteria or SRBs are anaerobes that are able to use sulfate as an electron acceptor. The process results in the production of oxidized carbon compounds and reduced sulfur (sulfides). Biocides are often added to the water to inhibit microbial activity but this process is not efficient requiring enormous amounts of toxic compounds to be added to the water to have a lasting impact ...

The aim of this study was to analyse the secretomes of the deeply branching order Thermotogales, using the species of Thermosipho africanus, Petrotoga mobilis, and Kosmotoga olearia, which have all been isolated from hot and deep North Sea oil reservoirs, as experimental systems. These strains are thermophilic and anaerobic heterotrophs and were grown in mineral media supplemented with yeast extract and carbohydrates. This is the first study of the exoproteomes in this bacterial order. Proteins from culture supernatants, which were concentrated by ultrafiltration, were both analysed by SDS-PAGE and proteomics-based methods. A large number (60-90), extracellular proteins with signal peptides, including solute-binding proteins, various classes of hydrolytic enzymes, as well as previously uncharacterised (hypothetical) proteins, were identified in spent media of P. mobilis and K. olearia. T. africanus culture supernatants contained almost only typical intracellular proteins, and almost no proteins ...

My initial research interest was in the dynamics of DOC and its composition as food for marine bacteria. This led me to be one of a group of people who drove through the new and the present paradigm of the role of bacteria in the planktonic food web. From this my interest broadened to overall heterotrophic metabolism - respiration. To enable this work I developed an ultra high precision analytical method for the analysis of oxygen concentrations in seawater and the group I assembled became leaders in this field. This work led on to the question of the balance of metabolism (photosynthesis versus respiration) in the oceans and I played a leading role in the debate over purported ocean heterotrophy. Recently, I have developed an interest on the physiology and biochemistry of micro-algae in relation to their potential for biomass and biofuel production. ...

Abstract: Interactions between phytoplankton and heterotrophic marine bacteria, particularly of those colonizing the phycosphere, represents one of the most important steps in the ocean biogeochemical cycles. However, increasing temperatures, due to the ocean warming, have been described to strongly impact marine microbiota and may also alter the DOC uptake by the phytoplankton-associated bacteria, with important biogeochemical implications. To test such impact of ocean warming on the cycling of different elements, we performed 2 studies testing the effect of increasing temperatures in the C and N uptake by phytoplankton and their associated bacteria. Combining temperature-controlled incubation experiments and single-cells analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometer (NanoSIMS) we found that ocean warming may greatly impact C and N circulation in the oceans and that such effect would highly depend on bacterial life-strategies and ...

About two thirds of Earth is covered by oceans of which less than 2 % constitute marine vegetation. Yet, marine vegetation serves crucial ecosystem functioning and is especially vital to the health of coastal ecosystems. Macroalgae display one group of marine vegetation which can form ecological habitats that are not only impressive by their dimensions but also with regards to biodiversity and primary production. Among algal compounds, polysaccharides play an important role as bioactive polymers and food source for heterotrophic organisms. Especially anionic polysaccharides are of high scientific interest as they define the 3D structure of the algae and sequester carbon in form of sinking particles from the photic zone to the deep sea. Detailed insights into the enzymatic machinery of heterotrophic bacteria capable to utilize algal polysaccharides contributes to a better understanding of carbon cycling and food web dynamics in the marine environment. In the present dissertation, I investigated ...

are heterotrophic but not organotrophic. Myco-heterotrophy has evolved multiple times in different plant families. These plants obtain carbon from soil fungi. Interestingly, there are photosynthetic bacteria that are heterotrophs, notably the purple nonsulfur bacteria (Rhodospirillaceae). Organisms have a wide range of degrees of heterotrophy. Many bacteria, like pseudomonads, can use any of a variety of organic compounds as their sole carbon source, while on the opposite extreme, intracellular symbionts and parasites are often so dependent on their host cells for nutrition that they are very difficult to grow in lab conditions. The animal kingdom is somewhat intermediate, sharing the need to consume a variety of biomolecules, but still able to make many others. The essential amino acids (EAAs), familiar from human nutrition as those that cannot be made by our bodies and therefore must be consumed, are a nutritional need across the animal kingdom. Likewise, the B vitamins are enzyme cofactors ...

Yeasts are the single celled growth forms of most fungi. Yeasts are unicellular fungi. They are heterotrophic organisms that require organic carbon as there common source of energy or carbon. Most yeast cells are facultative anaerobes and they are able to grow even in the absence of oxygen. Many yeast cells especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae are important industrial microorganisms because of the important roles that they play in the production of foods and other products of economic importance. Most yeasts exhibit dimorphism, a phenomenon in which a fungal cell exhibit two growth forms i.e. the yeast form and the filamentous (mould) form. Only few types of yeast such as Cryptococcus neoformans (which causes a rare form of meningitis) and Candida albicans are animal/human pathogens.. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast that is also called the bakers yeast. It is one of the most useful yeast because it has been used in baking and brewing since ancient times. S. cerevisiae cells are ...

Theoretical considerations and curve fitting of data support the proposition that models for heterotrophic organisms are more realistic when individuals consist of two components: reserves and structure. Predators that prey on a population of such individuals can choose to assimilate the reserves or the structure of the prey, or both. As a consequence, the Holling type II description we use for predator-prey interaction has to be revised. In this article we study tri-trophic food chains with two-component populations in a chemostat. The influence of different degrees of assimilation of reserves and structure on the long-term dynamics of the food chain is studied with bifurcation analysis of the governing system of ODEs. The results presented in bifurcation diagrams show large quantitative effects. The modelling will start at the individual level. The two components of the prey are assimilated in parallel and the usable portions are added to a common storage pool, the reserves. The energy stored ...

The distribution of prokaryotic abundance (PA), prokaryotic heterotrophic production (PHP), and suspended particulate organic material (POM), as well as total and dissolved (operationally defined as passing through 0.2 µm pore size filters) potential extracellular enzymatic activities (EEA; α- and β-glucosidase [AGase and BGase], leucine aminopeptidase [LAPase], and alkaline phosphatase [APase]) were determined in the meso- and bathypelagic waters of the (sub)tropical Atlantic along an eastern zonal transatlantic transect and a western N-S transect. Significant differences between both transects were found for POM concentration but not for PA, PHP (except in the subsurface and oxygen minimum layer), and dissolved and total EEA. PHP decreased by 3 orders of magnitude from the lower euphotic zone to bathypelagic waters, while PA and cell-specific PHP decreased only by 1 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively. The proportion of the dissolved to the total EEA was high in the dark ocean for all ...

2015 Elsevier Ltd. Infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) are associated with poor health outcomes and are recognised globally as a serious health problem. Much research has been conducted on the transmission of ARB to humans. Yet the role the natural environment plays in the spread of ARB and antibiotic resistance genes is not well understood. Antibiotic resistant bacteria have been detected in natural aquatic environments, and ingestion of seawater during water sports is one route by which many people could be directly exposed. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of resistance to one clinically important class of antibiotics (third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs)) amongst Escherichia coli in coastal surface waters in England and Wales. Prevalence data was used to quantify ingestion of 3GC-resistant E. coli (3GCREC) by people participating in water sports in designated coastal bathing waters. A further aim was to use this value to derive a population-level estimate of ...

One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive ...

There are thousands of known species of molds, which have diverse life-styles including saprotrophs, mesophiles, psychrophiles and thermophiles and a very few opportunistic pathogens of humans.[6] They all require moisture for growth and some live in aquatic environments. Like all fungi, molds derive energy not through photosynthesis but from the organic matter on which they live, utilising heterotrophy. Typically, molds secrete hydrolytic enzymes, mainly from the hyphal tips. These enzymes degrade complex biopolymers such as starch, cellulose and lignin into simpler substances which can be absorbed by the hyphae. In this way molds play a major role in causing decomposition of organic material, enabling the recycling of nutrients throughout ecosystems. Many molds also synthesise mycotoxins and siderophores which, together with lytic enzymes, inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms. Molds can also grow on stored food for animals and humans, making the food unpalatable or toxic and are thus ...

Start with grains like rice and quinoa. Theyre the mildest foods. You can add one or the other to your diet eating them as often as you want for 4 days.. Wheat can cause a reaction so be careful when adding it.. Then try various fruits. Some of these might cause a reaction. Again, try to buy organic fruits so your body has the best foods for balancing.. Milk often causes some sort of reaction. One of the best ways to avoid that is to consume and use raw milk (unpasteurized, unhomogenized). Its loaded with beneficial bacteria to nourish your gut too.. These are simple foods you can try to add back into your diet if you want to.. When trying to add more complex foods, remember to stay away from white sugar…forever. It messes with your blood sugar and insulin levels. Also white sugar adds empty calories to your diet-those calories coming from a substance devoid of nutrients like vitamins and minerals which your cells need to function. Additionally, white sugar removes nutrients out of cells ...
