What are examples of heterotrophic and autotrophic archaebacteria?

Answer 1

Autotrophic archaebacteria, in the biological classification system, are members of the class halobacteria. Halobacteria live in salt water. Some species of halobacteria are: Halobacterium cutirubrum > Halobacterium salinarumHalobacterium denitrificans > Haloferax denitrificansHalobacterium distributum > Halorubrum distributumHalobacterium halobium > Halobacterium salinarumHeterotrophic archaebacteria are members of the class Methanobacteria. As their name suggests, these species metabolize methane gas to create energy. An example of this species is methanobacterium aarhusense.

Answer 2

Heterotrophic archaebacteria obtain their energy by consuming organic compounds from their environment, while autotrophic archaebacteria can produce their own food using inorganic substances. Examples of heterotrophic archaebacteria include Methanobrevibacter smithii, which produces methane as a byproduct, and examples of autotrophic archaebacteria include Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus, which uses hydrogen gas as a source of energy.

Answer 3

What are the examples of autotrophic bacteria?

Answer 4

Autotrophic bacteria are able to make their own energy. Green sulfur bacteria, purple bacteria, cyanobacteria, halophiles, and methanogens are different types of autotrophic bacteria.

Answer 5

Cyanobacteria, or the blue-green algae is a good enough example of an autotrophic monera, as it makes its food by photosynthesis.
