| Relationship between autotrophy and heterotrophy in symbiotic scleractinian corals. |
| After greening and probable transition from heterotrophy to autotrophy, root growth rate was enhanced and growth followed a linear pattern. |
| This period is followed by post-germinative growth that leads to seedling establishment and the acquisition of autotrophy. |
| If detached leaves were fed glucose, inducing a rapid switch from autotrophy to heterotrophy, then they were seen to exhibit GPT activity. |
| The isolates were able to grow autolithotrophically in mineral medium in the presence of sulfur, hydrogen and CO2 by hydrogen sulfur autotrophy. |
| They consider that early achievement of autotrophy is a major feature of structures with a high degree of foliarization. |
