(ii) '''Chemoautotrophs''' obtain energy from chemical by oxidation process for food synthesis and carbon from CO2.<br> This type include nitrifying bacteria, sulphur bacteria, iron bacteria etc.<br> Heterotrophs are also of two types- Photoheterotrophs and chemoheterotrophs. <br>Photoheterotrophs use light as energy source and an organic compound as source of carbon, e.g. Green and purple bacteria. <br>Chemoheterotrophs use chemical as energy and carbon may also be obtained from the same organic substances.<br> Most of the bacteria belong to this type.<br>
