Characteristics and feedingmodes of pelagic planktonic
consumers• Protists: diffusion feeding, direct interception, filter feeding,
dinoflagellate feeding diversity, mixotrophy• Crustacea: filter and raptorial feeding• Chaetognaths: raptorial feeding (ambush predators)• Gelatinous Zooplankton: tentacles, sticky cells and filter
feeders• Larval Fish: mainly raptorial feeders (some filter feeders, too)

What are Protists?
Sleigh 1989
~10 um
Example: Ochromonas (flagellate)Protists are many of thephytoplankton (e.g., diatoms,coccolithophorids, dino-flagellates, “picoeukaryotes”,etc.)
Microheterotroph grazers arealso protists (e.g., flagellates,ciliates, dinoflagellates, etc.)
NOT PROTISTS:Prochlorococcus,Synechococcus, other bacteria

Food VacuolesIntracellular vacuoles digest the food (no gut as in metazoans)
Example of a food vacuole cycle in a protist:
a: food vacuole “pinching off”from outer membrane, enclosing
food items (phagocytosis)
b: it fuses with acid-containingvesicles (av)
c & d: it shrinks as liquid is removed,then merges with lytic (lysosomal)enzymes (digestion)
e & f: after food digestion, digested vacuolar contents are pinched off into cytoplasm, as are the enzymes for re-use
g: undigested material may be released to the “outside” environment (remineralization)and the membrane retrieved to be re-used for another cycle

On the use of video-microscopy for the analysis of protist feedingbehavior
J. Boenigk, Institute for Limnology, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Mondsee, Austria
The mechanisms of food selection were the focus of thestudy. Food selectivity of heterotrophic nanoflagellatescan be subdivided into: (1) passive food selection(contact probability and morphological properties of thefeeding structures are responsible for a particle-specificresponse); and (2) active food selection (flagellatesmay actively select food during food uptake). Theseexperiments revealed a high variability betweenspecies, and also high intraspecific variability.Advantages and disadvantages of the technique will bediscussed. These include photochemical effects,experimental artifacts and the general suitability of themethod for investigating behavioral patterns inmicrobial populations.

Mixotrophy Mixed mode of nutrition, definition broadenough to include symbiotic relationships
Widespread amongst protistan groups
Diverse: manifests in many ways

Three General Types of Mixotrophy
1. Endosymbioticrelationships: truesymbiotic relationships, likealgae in corals• mostly associated withSarcodines -- symbionts areoften dinoflagellates,monads, diatoms, red algae• usually only one symbionttype per host species• enclosed in vacuolarmembrane, “respectfuldistance”

Example: Laboea strobila, a tintinnidciliate, borrows chloroplasts, it mayeat some at night -- gets mainlypolysaccharide sugars and LMWmolecules from chloroplasts
• Implication: since “prey” maycontinue to produce organics forpredator after ingestion, efficiency ofgrowth might be higher than predictedsimply from ingestion of prey biomass
2. Borrowed chloroplasts

Example: Mixotrophic flagellate(chrysophyte) P. malhamensis,phagotrophy dominates if bacteriaare present, phototrophy onlywhen bacterial abundancebecomes limiting.
• Other organisms may show theopposite preference for trophicmode.

How to distinguish autotrophic andheterotrophic organisms?
Energy flows; newly fixed carbon cancome in at various places
Growth: increased “apparent” grossgrowth efficiency (=growth/ingestion)

Summary of Feeding Modes Feeding mechanisms: 4 main types
Filter or suspension feeding Diffusion feeding Pallium and peduncle feeding Direct interception (raptorial) feeding
Mixotrophy: 3 main types Endosymbiosis (true partnership) Kleptochloroplasts (“borrowed” chloroplasts) Genetically capable of switching (“autonomous”
mixotrophs)
