Autotrophic bacterias will make its own food via chemosynthesis or photosynthesis. Heterotrophic bacterias will engulf debris or other bacterias. Bacterias like E. Coli form a mutualism with humans and feed off of our undigested food.

∙ 7y agoMost bacteria consume things already dead. They decompose stuff like shed skin, carcasses, and plant bits such as leaves. These do it by secreting digesting enzymes outside themselves onto the food source. The bacteria then absorb just what they need.
Other bacteria can photosynthesize. These include the cyanobacteria that produce oxygen for our atmosphere. They still contribute up 30% of the Earth available oxygen every year. Then there are the purple nonsulfur bacteria that do both, photosynthesize and get their energy from organic compounds.
Some symbiotic bacteria help us digest the food we consume. These beneficial gut flora provide us with essential nutrients like vitamin B1 & B6 we cannot make ourselves.
