Mixotrophy in phytoplankton: Prevalent use of organic compounds and lineage-specific variations suggest conserved ancestral traits

Nele Martens, Luisa Listmann, Jette Ludewigs, Elisa Schaum

This study analyzes mixotrophy in 46 phytoplankton strains, showing it is widespread across taxa and habitats, not limited to light or nutrient conditions.

Picophytoplankton dominate phytoplankton communities in the Elbe estuary in terms of cell counts

Nele Martens, Johanna Biederbick, C‐Elisa Schaum

The paper investigates seasonal and spatial patterns of picophytoplankton abundance and community composition in the Elbe estuary using flow cytometry and metabarcoding, finding they dominate phytoplankton communities by cell counts.
