WHAT DOES CHEMOLITHOTROPH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

chemolithotroph

Lithotroph

A lithotroph is a subgroup of chemotrophic organism. Lithotrophs use an inorganic substrate to obtain reducing equivalents for use in biosynthesis or energy conservation via aerobic or anaerobic respiration. Known chemolithotrophs are exclusively microbes; no known macrofauna possesses the ability to utilize inorganic compounds as energy sources. Macrofauna and lithotrophs can form symbiotic relationships, in which case the lithotrophs are called "prokaryotic symbionts". An example of this is chemolithotrophic bacteria in giant tube worms or plastids, which are organelles within plant cells that may have evolved from photolithotrophic cyanobacteria-like organisms. Lithotrophs belong to either the domain Bacteria or the domain Archaea. The term "lithotroph" was created from the Greek terms 'lithos' and 'troph', meaning "eaters of rock". Many lithoautotrophs are extremophiles, but this is not universally so. Different from a lithotroph is an organotroph, an organism which obtains its reducing agents from the catabolism of organic compounds.
