1. Mixotrophic dinoflagellates are photosynthetically active, but are also heterotrophic.2. The Pyroloideae are mixotrophic and gain sugars from the mycorrhizae, as well as nutrients. 3. They are typically mixotrophic , ingesting bacteria and smaller protists as well as conducting photosynthesis. 4. If both forms are required, the organisms are mixotrophic " sensu stricto ". 5. Recently recognized as mixotrophic , " A . sanguinea " is capable of preying on various organisms. 6. All species of this genus are mixotrophic and harbor unicellular algae belonging to genus " Chlorella ". 7. "Heterosigma akashiwo " is a mixotrophic alga, supplementing nutrient uptake and photosynthesis with ingestion of bacteria. 8. Higher biomass production can be accomplished with a heterotrophic / mixotrophic growth mix using wastewater and biodiesel-derived glycerol. 9. Some species however contain endo-symbiotic algae and are therefore mixotrophic , i . e . combining autotrophy and heterotrophy,. 10. In some groups of mixotrophic protists, like some dinoflagellates, chloroplasts are separated from a captured alga or diatom and used temporarily.
