  2. Saprotrophic nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_nutrition

    Saprotrophic nutrition / s æ p r ə ˈ t r ɒ f ɪ k,-p r oʊ-/ [1] or lysotrophic nutrition [2] [3] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter.

  3. Saprotrophic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_bacteria

    All saprotrophic bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes, and reproduce asexually through binary fission. [2] Variation in the turnover times (the rate at which a nutrient is depleted and replaced in a particular nutrient pool) of the bacteria may be due in part to variation in environmental factors including temperature, soil moisture, soil pH, substrate type and concentration, plant genotype ...

  4. Psathyrellaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psathyrellaceae

    Psathyrellaceae are saprotrophs or rarely mycoparasites on other agarics (e.g. Psathyrella epimyces). They often occur in nitrogen-rich habitats such as muck soils, dung, wet soft decayed wood, lawns, garden soils.

  5. Food web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_web

    A freshwater aquatic food web. The blue arrows show a complete food chain (algae → daphnia → gizzard shad → largemouth bass → great blue heron). A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.

  6. Solanum retroflexum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_retroflexum

    Its old scientific name [citation needed] that is still often seen, Solanum × burbankii, indicates a plant of hybrid origin. It was supposedly bred by Luther Burbank in the early 1900s as a hybrid of S. villosum and S. guineense [2] but in fact S. retroflexum is a proper species of its own, while the supposed hybrid combination would not be viable due to different ploidy of S. guineense and S ...

  7. Biology of Diptera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_of_Diptera

    The larvae of Diptera feed on a diverse array of nutrients ; often these are different from those of adults, for instance the larvae of Syrphidae in which family the adults are flower-feeding are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant or animal matter, or insectivores, eating aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects.

  8. Heterotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotroph

    Saprotrophs (also called lysotrophs) are chemoheterotrophs that use extracellular digestion in processing decayed organic matter. The process is most often facilitated through the active transport of such materials through endocytosis within the internal mycelium and its constituent hyphae .

  9. Solaster endeca - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaster_endeca

    Solaster endeca can grow to about 40 cm (16 in) across, but 20 cm (7.9 in) a more normal adult size is half that. It is a robust species with 9 or 10 arms (occasionally any number from seven to 13) set around a large disc.
