Photoautotrophs are
organisms that can
utilize light energy from
sunlight and
elements (such as carbon) from
inorganic compounds to
produce organic materials...
-
primary producers can
convert the
energy in the
light (phototroph and
photoautotroph) or the
energy in
inorganic chemical compounds (chemotrophs or chemolithotrophs)...
-
sulfur bacteria) they can be also
called lithotrophs, and so, some
photoautotrophs are also
called photolithoautotrophs.
Examples of
phototroph organisms...
- gram-negative cyanobacterium. This
bacterium is non-nitrogen-fixing
photoautotroph. It has been
isolated in
Chenghai Lake, China, soda

- (auto = self,
troph = nutrition).
Autotrophs use
energy from
sunlight (
photoautotrophs) or
oxidation of
inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to

Photoautotrophs,

green plants,
algae and
cyanobacteria gather energy...
