CARBON SOURCES.... nonsulfur (purple & green) bacteria are photoheterotrophs, so they use organic compounds, such as alcohols, fatty acids, other organic acids and carbs, as sources of carbon. If using Tortora, Funke & Case Microbiology text, then you can read this in Chapter 5!

Why do photosynthetic sulfur bacteria use hydrogen sulfide?

Photosynthetic sulfur bacteria use hydrogen sulfide because it can serve as an electron donor in the process of photosynthesis. They can use the energy from oxidizing hydrogen sulfide to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds, similar to how plants use sunlight. This process allows them to thrive in anaerobic environments where other energy sources may be limited.
