heterotrophic

👉 Heterotrophic bacteria are non-lactic acid bacteria that live in anaerobic environments, such as soil or marine sediments. They require oxygen for growth but do not form lactic acids like aerobic bacteria do. These organisms consume organic matter from dead and decaying plants and animals, breaking down sugars without converting them to carbon dioxide and water.

This can occur through a process called photosynthesis, where an organism converts light energy into chemical energy, which it uses for growth and reproduction. In contrast, heterotrophic organisms obtain their nutrients from the environment, usually through the consumption of organic matter by decomposers.
