What type of bacterium uses light energy to make food?

The type of bacterium that uses light energy to make food is called a phototrophic bacterium. These bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, perform photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy to produce organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. They contain pigments like chlorophyll or bacteriochlorophyll that capture light energy, enabling them to thrive in various environments, including aquatic ecosystems.


What happens As a bacterium approaches a food source?

As a bacterium approaches a food source, it detects chemical signals released by the nutrients through a process called chemotaxis. This triggers movement toward the food source, often involving changes in flagellar rotation to swim in the direction of higher nutrient concentrations. Once it reaches the food, the bacterium may begin to secrete enzymes to break down the nutrients for absorption and energy. This behavior enhances its survival and growth in nutrient-rich environments.
