  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. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi (e.g. Mucor) and with soil bacteria.

  3. Saprotrophic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_bacteria

    Saprotrophic bacteria are bacteria that are typically soil-dwelling and utilize saprotrophic nutrition as their primary energy source. They are often associated with soil fungi that also use saprotrophic nutrition and both are classified as saprotrophs. [1] A saprotroph is a type of decomposer that feeds exclusively on dead and decaying plant ...

    The first method of acquiring nutrients is through saprotrophic nutrition. In saprotrophic nutrition, nutrients are obtained from dead organic matter through enzymatic degradation. The second method of acquiring nutrients is through osmotrophic nutrition. In osmotrophic nutrition, nutrients are obtained through absorbing soluble products.

  9. Extracellular digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_digestion

    Heterotrophic nutrition means that fungi utilize extracellular sources of organic energy, organic material or organic matter, for their maintenance, growth and reproduction. Energy is derived from the breakdown of the chemical bond between carbon and either carbon or other components of compounds such as a phosphate ion .
