E.coli the most familiar bacterium.It is a Coliform bacterium i.e. it lives in intestine of man.As it gets its food from human intestine it is parasitic and all parasites are heterotrophic , hence it is also heterotrophic. Autotrophic bacteria are mostly Cyanobacteria.E. coli is opertunistic pathogenic for human beings.

E. coli is heterotrophic, meaning it relies on organic compounds as a source of carbon for growth and energy production. It cannot produce its own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms.

Are elephant shrews autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Like all animals they are heterotrophic.
What are the subgroups of moners?

Expalin without autotrophic organisms heterotrophic life would cease to exist?
Autotrophic organisms are essential for producing organic molecules through photosynthesis, which heterotrophic organisms rely on as a source of food. Without autotrophs converting sunlight into energy, there would be a lack of primary production that supports the entire food chain, ultimately leading to the collapse of heterotrophic life.

Is Spirochete an autotroph?
No. A Spirochete is an organism from a phylum of bacteria (Spirochaetes) and is generally spiral in shape. An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food (generally by photosynthesis). The opposite of an autotroph is called a heterotroph. Spirochetes, like other bacteria, are heterotrophs. They are not able to produce their own food.

Are archaebacteria or heterotrophic or autotrophic or saprophytic?
Archaebacteria can be autotrophic, heterotrophic, or saprophytic. Some archaebacteria are capable of synthesizing their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while others rely on consuming organic matter or decaying material for energy.
