WHAT DOES CHEMAUTOTROPHIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chemautotrophic

Chemosynthesis

In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse, but groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the aquificaeles, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria. Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas. Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans also use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites at which hydrogen molecules are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO2 and H2 can be large enough to drive the production of biomass. Alternatively, in most oceanic environments, energy for chemosynthesis derives from reactions in which substances such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia are oxidized.

Definition of chemautotrophic in the English dictionary

The definition of chemautotrophic in the dictionary is obtaining energy from inorganic reactions using simple compounds, such as ammonia or hydrogen sulphide.
