Heterotrophs
Chemoheterotrophs
- secure
organic compounds (carbon source) from the environment, Types -parasites,
saprobes, mutualistic symbionts
Photoheterotrophs
- use light
as a source of energy (to synthesize ATP) but use C compounds from other
organisms as a carbon source.
Purple
nonsulfur bacteria
Autotrophs
Photoautotrophs
-
Cyanobacteria
- Photosynthesis
like eukaryotes, produce 02 and contain chlorophyll
a
Photosynthetic
bacteria - Bacteriochlorophyll - no
02 produced, produce
S2 and use H2S as a H2
source.
Purple
sulfur bacteria.
Green sulfur bacteria
Nitrifiers-
oxidize
nitrite or ammonia to
nitrate.
Others
oxidize H2, H2S, S2, Fe compounds and other
substances.
