Chemosynthetic biology

…(1) Differences in energy sources The source of energy for all living organisms can be traced back to the sun, but the method of using and converting solar energy differs depending on the organism. Organisms that can use light directly as an energy source are called phototrophs, while organisms that obtain energy through chemical reactions of oxidation and reduction are called chemotrophs. Among chemosynthetic organisms, organisms that use organic substances such as glucose as electron donors are called chemoorganotrophs, and those that use inorganic substances such as sulfur, ammonia, and hydrogen are called chemolithotrophs. …

Japanese:

…(1)エネルギー源の違い すべての生物のエネルギー供給源はもとをたどれば太陽にいきつくが,太陽エネルギーの利用変換の方式は,生物によって異なる。光を直接エネルギー源として利用できる生物は光合成生物phototrophと呼ばれ,これに対して酸化還元の化学反応を介してエネルギーを獲得する生物を化学合成生物chemotrophと呼ぶ。化学合成生物の中で,グルコースなどの有機物質を電子供与体とする生物を化学合成有機酸化生物chemoorganotroph,また硫黄,アンモニア,水素などの無機物質を利用するものを化学合成無機酸化生物chemolithotrophと呼ぶ。…
