Organotrofni organizmi

Organotrof je organizam koji dobija vodonik ili elektrone iz organskih supstrata. Ovaj termin se koristi u mikrobiologiji pri klasifikovanju organizama na bazi načina na koji oni dobijaju elektrone u svojim respiracionim procesima. Neki organotrofi, kao što su životinje i mnoge bakterije, su isto tako heterotrofi. Organotrofi mogu da budu bilo anaerobni ili aerobni.

Istorija

Termin su predložili 1946. godine Lvof i njegovi saradnici.^[1]
