Document Summary

Organic sources: monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, phenols, etc. (carbon-based) Required for the synthesis of nucleic acids, phospholipids, and atp. Inorganic and organic sources, the inorganic form (phosphate) is the most used. Required for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, and peptidoglycan. Required for the synthesis of amino acids (cysteine/methionine) and vitamins (thiamine and biotin), ultimately required for the synthesis of any proteins. Required for the synthesis of all organics, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Inorganic sources: h2 (methanogens only), h2o (mainly autotrophs) Organic sources: any organic compound: nutritional classi cation. The carbon source can be heterotrophs (preformed organic molecules) or autotrophs (inorganic molecules like co2 and co). The source of energy can be phototrophs (light) or chemotrophs (oxidation of either organic or inorganic compounds). The source of electrons can be organotrophs (reduced organic molecules) or lithographs (reduced inorganic molecules): nutritional types.
