Hello... Here is your answer
Chemosynthetic Bacteria
Bacteria that synthesize organic compounds, using energy derived from the oxidation of organic or inorganic materials without the aid of light.
They are of two types
Chemotropic autotrophs- These are bacteria which gain energy by breaking down inorganic molecules and chemical compunds in their environment, such as sulfides or ammonia, and are important for cycling nitrogen through the ecosystem.
Chemotrophic heterotrophs or decomposers- These are bacteria which gain energy by breaking down organic substances. This includes waste products, dead organic matter and other organic compounds. These bacteria are vital for making sure certain elements and minerals cycle through the ecosystem so that life can continue.
The third way bacteria can obtain food is through symbiosis , of which there are three types: Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism.
