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.
Saprobionts are organisms that digest their food externally and then absorb the products. [1] [2] This process is called saprotrophic nutrition.Fungi are examples of saprobiontic organisms, which are a type of decomposer.
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 larger snail is L. stagnalis with saprobic value 2.0; the smaller one is possibly a Physa fontinalis with a value of 2.4.. The saprobic system is a tool to measure water quality, and specifically it deals with the capacity of a water body to self-regulate and degrade organic matter.

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 .
