Microbes require carbon for metabolic activities, with organisms categorized as heterotrophs or autotrophs based on their carbon source. In addition to carbon, macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, potassium, and magnesium are crucial for cell function. Growth factors such as amino acid

Microorganisms are classified based on their nutritional requirements into autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs can utilize inorganic nutrients or light for energy, while heterotrophs require organic compounds. They are further categorized into four groups: photoautotrophs, photoheterotrophs, che

Ecosystems are intricate units where living organisms interact with each other and the environment. They consist of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components, interrelated in a chain of interactions. Biotic components include autotrophs, heterotrophs, and decomposers, while abiotic compone
