Autotrophic definition: An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
Heterotroph definition: An organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) is both. It is autotrophic (an autotroph) because it is not always in a host (in the presence of organic energy/food). It must, therefore, make its own food to survive. It is heterotrophic because it feeds on organic energy/food mainly (human, rodent, and flea hosts).
