Investigation of carbon and energy metabolic mechanism of mixotrophy in Chromochloris zofingiensis

Abstract Background Mixotrophy can confer a higher growth rate than the sum of photoautotrophy and heterotrophy in many microalgal species. Thus, it has been applied to biodiesel production and wastewater utilization. However, its carbon and energy metabolic mechanism is currently poorly understood....
