Namechemoautotroph
TypePHENOTYPIC
DescriptionOrganisms which are capable of deriving all of their energy from the oxidation of electron donating molecules (chemotrophic, as contrasted with phototrophic) and are also capable of obtaining carbon for all their necessary organic compounds from carbon dioxide (CO2). Most chemoautotrophs derive their energy from inorganic sources and so are, specifically, chemolithoautotrophs.
