Nutrition in Bacteria

Most of the bacteria do not contain chlorophyll. They are unable to synthesis their own food but a small group of bacteria are capable of synthesizing their own food. So, nutrition in bacteria is both autotrophic and heterotrophic. This note contains information about types of nutrition in bacteria. Learn More
