  2. 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 ...

  3. Saprotrophic nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_nutrition

    Saprotrophic plants or bacterial flora are called saprophytes (sapro-'rotten material' + -phyte 'plant'), although it is now believed [citation needed] that all plants previously thought to be saprotrophic are in fact parasites of microscopic fungi or of other plants.

  4. Saprobiont - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprobiont

    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.

  5. Saprophytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprophytes

    Saprophyte may refer to: . Saprotrophs; organisms, particularly fungi, which obtain nutrients directly from dead organic matter or wastes; Myco-heterotrophs; plants, fungi, or micro-organisms that live on dead or decomposing matter and parasitize fungi, rather than dead organic matter directly.

  6. Clostridia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridia

    Clostridia can be diagnosed by recognizing the characteristics of the lesion of the infection along with Gram stains of the tissue and bacterial culture. [1] Although the body does not have adequate defenses alone, this microbe can be controlled with the help of antibiotics, like penicillin, and tissue debridement for the more severe cases.

  7. Pathogenic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_bacteria

    Example of a workup algorithm of possible bacterial infection in cases with no specifically requested targets (non-bacteria, mycobacteria etc.), with most common situations and agents seen in a New England setting. Typically identification is done by growing the organism in a wide range of cultures which can take up to 48 hours.

  8. Primary nutritional groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_nutritional_groups

    For example, cyanobacteria and many purple sulfur bacteria can be photolithoautotrophic, using light for energy, H 2 O or sulfide as electron/hydrogen donors, and CO 2 as carbon source, whereas green non-sulfur bacteria can be photoorganoheterotrophic, using organic molecules as both electron/hydrogen donors and carbon sources.

  9. Myxococcus xanthus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxococcus_xanthus

    These bacteria source carbon from lipids rather than sugars. They exhibit various forms of self-organizing behavior in response to environmental cues. Under normal conditions with abundant food, they exist as predatory, saprophytic single-species biofilm called a swarm, [2] highlighting the importance of intercellular communication for these ...
