One-sided Wintergreen (Orthilia secunda) is a mixotroph—it gets about half of its carbon through mycorrhizal fungi connected to nearby trees, supplementing its own photosynthesis.

We have a new paper out today in #ScienceAdvances from a #COVIDcollab with postdocs Kevin Archibald, Suzana Leles, and Ferdi Pfab. Our #MOCHA☕💻🦠 team developed a new model to describe how #mixotrophs optimize metabolism. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #protistsonsky

Implementation and assessment of a model including mixotrophs and the carbonate cycle (Eco3M_MIX-Car... Abstract. Many current biogeochemical models rely on an autotrophic versus heterotrophic food web representation. However, in recent years, an increasing number of studies have begun to challenge this...
