| 1. | Myco-heterotrophy refers to the harmonious relationship between particular plants and fungi.
|
| 2. | Three nutritional strategies are seen in dinoflagellates : phototrophy, mixotrophy, and heterotrophy.
|
| 3. | Thus, the protist exhibits an unusual life cycle of alternating autotrophy and heterotrophy.
|
| 4. | Because of this dependence on myco-heterotrophy, they cannot be successfully cultivated.
|
| 5. | This strategy is known as myco-heterotrophy.
|
| 6. | Other microbes, living in sediments, may utilise available organic compounds ( heterotrophy ).
|
| 7. | Facultative mixotrophs, in which autotrophy or heterotrophy is sufficient for nutrition, are classified as amphitrophic.
|
| 8. | Myco-heterotrophy therefore closely resembles mycorrhiza ( and indeed is thought to have evolved from mycorrhiza ),
|
| 9. | Some species however contain endo-symbiotic algae and are therefore mixotrophic, i . e . combining autotrophy and heterotrophy,.
|
| 10. | Partial ( or facultative ) myco-heterotrophy exists when a plant is capable of photosynthesis, but parasitizes fungi as a supplementary food supply.
