Crenarchaeota, a phylum of Archaea, primarily exhibit autotrophic characteristics, particularly through their ability to perform chemosynthesis. Many species in this group utilize inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen or sulfur, to fix carbon dioxide and produce organic matter. However, some crenarchaeota can also be heterotrophic, relying on organic compounds for their energy and carbon needs, demonstrating metabolic diversity within the group.
