Proteus vulgaris is a heterotrophic bacterium, meaning it obtains its nutrients by consuming organic compounds from other organisms. It is commonly found in decaying organic matter, soil, and the intestines of animals, where it plays a role in nutrient recycling. Unlike autotrophic organisms, which can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, P. vulgaris relies on external sources for its energy and carbon.
