However, the cave system appears to lack the symbioses between chemo-autotrophic microbes and animals so characteristic of deep sea vent communities.” Biologists continue to study the cave ...

Four autotrophic carbon-fixation pathways were already known and Berg et al. now report a fifth pathway that is used by archaea from diverse habitats. The best-known autotrophic pathway is the ...

The sandworm is not a mammal or reptile, but a giant autotrophic organism. It eats substances that are inedible or even toxic to other life forms. It produces a substance from what it consumes that ...

This debate is ongoing, but the dominant view of ecologists remains that consumers impact many aspects of plant ecology, but are not key drivers of the productivity of entire autotrophic ecosystems.

In contrast to autotrophic plants, mycoheterotrophic plants do not ensure their carbon supply via photosynthesis, but via a fungal partner. The vast majority of land plants use symbiosis with ...

In addition, with the decrease of nitrogen concentration in wastewater, the microbial community composition of CWs was also changed from heterotrophic to autotrophic. At the same time, micro ...

Mechanistic modeling of oxygen transfer in hollow-fiber membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (HFMBRs) Coupling of aerobic and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in mixed community biofilms ...

Based on comparative genome analysis of autotrophic, hemiparasitic and holoparasitic plants of the Orobanchaceae, we elucidate the evolutionary trajectories of mitogenome evolution as parasitic ...
