Hicks Pries CE, van Logtestijn RSP, Schuur EAG, Natali SM, Cornelissen JHC, Aerts R, Dorrepaal E (2015b) Decadal warming causes a consistent and persistent shift
from heterotrophic to autotrophic respiration in contrasting permafrost ecosystems.

The best explanation, says Hayes, is that these hydrocarbons were formed by «
heterotrophic» bacteria, which fed by rotting down the organic material
from dead photosynthetic cells.
The objective of this ESR is first to obtain an overview of the biodiversity of
heterotrophic microeukaryotes using the phylogenetic affiliation of single cells
from marine assemblages.
The theory holds that the eukaryote mitochodrion evolved
from a small, autotrophic bacterium that was engulfed by a larger primitive,
heterotrophic, eukaryotic cell.
The inverse, diurnal production of CO2, occurred downstream
from Misteriosa Bank, whose corals apparently contributed to a water mass having a twofold increase of POC and a sixfold larger population of
heterotrophic nanoplankters.
Vegetation carbon -LRB--RRB- was predicted to increase by an average of 270 Pg C
from preindustrial levels across the models by 2100, but saturating NPP and increasing
heterotrophic respiration led to a reduction in NEP after 2050.
At least four key findings
from these projects relating to arctic
heterotrophic food web, pelagic - benthic coupling and biodiversity have emerged: (1) Contrary to a long - standing paradigm of dormant ecosystems during the long arctic winter, major food web components showed relatively high level of winter activity, well before the spring release of ice algae and subsequent phytoplankton bloom.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to: biological, thermochemical, or thermocatalytic routes for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to advanced biofuels beyond cellulosic ethanol; microbial fuel cells for direct production of electricity
from renewable carbon sources; hydrogen production
from autotrophic or
heterotrophic microorganisms; hydrocarbons and lipids
from phototrophic or
heterotrophic microorganisms.
