It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi and soil bacteria.Saprotroph, also called saprophyte or saprobe, organism that feeds on nonliving organic matter known as detritus at a microscopic level. The etymology of the word saprotroph comes from the Greek saprós (“rotten, putrid”) and trophē (“nourishment”).saprophyte or saprotroph is an organism which gets its energy from dead and decaying organic matter.
