  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. 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. [citation needed] Saprobiontic organisms feed off dead and/or decaying biological materials.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Extracellular digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_digestion

    Extracellular phototropic digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyze the digestion of the food, i.e., diffusion, transport, osmotrophy or phagocytosis. Since digestion occurs outside the cell, it is said to be extracellular.

  8. Table of food nutrients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_food_nutrients

    As foods vary by brands and stores, the figures should only be considered estimates, with more exact figures often included on product labels. For precise details about vitamins and mineral contents, the USDA source can be used. [1] To use the tables, click on "show" or "hide" at the far right for each food category.

  9. Detritivore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detritivore

    Instead, these other decomposers live by absorbing and metabolizing on a molecular scale (saprotrophic nutrition). The terms detritivore and decomposer are often used interchangeably, but they describe different organisms. Detritivores are usually arthropods and help in the process of remineralization. Detritivores perform the first stage of ...
