No. A Spirochete is an organism from a phylum of bacteria (Spirochaetes) and is generally spiral in shape. An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food (generally by photosynthesis). The opposite of an autotroph is called a heterotroph. Spirochetes, like other bacteria, are heterotrophs. They are not able to produce their own food.

A sporozoan is considered to be an autotroph. These are organisms that have the ability to make their own food.
