spirochete phylum, is not closely related to any other bacteria and has a highly unusual genome composed of a linear chromosome and multiple circular and linear plasmids that appear to be in a constant state of rearrangement, recombination, and deletion.

Spirochetes are a phylum of bacteria characterized by their helical shape and unique method of motility using axial filaments. These bacteria are known to cause diseases such as Lyme disease and syphilis in humans. They are found in diverse environments, including in the soil, water, and within the bodies of animals.

Yes it is
Is Spirochete an autotroph?
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.
