FungiApeFungi are heterotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food like plants. Instead, they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter from other organisms. Fungi achieve this through external digestion: they release enzymes into their environment to decompose dead material, absorbing the nutrients. This makes them essential decomposers in ecosystems, recycling nutrients and contributing to soil health. #Heterotrophic #Decomposers #Ecosystems https://fungiape.com/are-fungi-heterotrophs/

"The #discovery of a #mesophilic (adapted to moderate temperatures) #Hydrogenimonas species was unexpected. The strain likely provides us with the opportunity to investigate their evolutionary transition from a #thermophilic to a mesophilic and from an #autotrophic (capable of creating organic compounds) to a #heterotrophic (consumes #autotrophs) lifestyle"
A new bacterial species from a hydrothermal vent throws light on microbial evolution
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot springs on the ocean floor. Sea water penetrates into the ocean crust, becomes heated, and rises to the seafloor surface carrying dissolved nutrients. Around these vents, far from any sunlight, vibrant biological communities are found. Here, microbes play the role of primary producers through chemosynthesis—similar to the role that plants play on land through photosynthesis.
