Novel Approaches For Investigating Marine Planktonic Mixotrophy

This manual, Deliverable 3.8 of project MIxITiN, brings together the different novel approaches developed within MixITiN project for investigating marine mixoplankton activity. It comprises five sections, de facto chapters, as follows:

• Section 1 Introduction
• Section 2 Genomic sampling protocols for application to mixoplankton
• Section 3 Development and validation of new methods for measuring predation rates in mixoplanktonic protists
• Section 4 Reporting interpretative toolkit to enable the use of genomic data aligned with physiological status for representative mixoplankton
• Section 5 Novel systems dynamics modelling approaches for investigating marine planktonic mixotrophy
