Improved quality of seed storage proteins by tailoring particular amino acids have major health benefits for humans and economic benefits for poultry industries. In this contrast a major target has […]
Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Nutrition in Bacteria
The following points highlight the five main types of autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition in bacteria. The types are: 1. Photoautotrophic Bacteria 2. Chemoautotrophic Bacteria 3. Saprophytic Bacteria 4. Symbiotic Bacteria 5. Parasitic Bacteria. Type # 1. Photoautotrophic Bacteria: The bacteria possess photosynthetic pigments of two types, bacteriochlorophyll and bacteriophaeophytin (chlorobium chlorophyll). The two types of […]
