chemolithotroph

…Organisms that can use light directly as an energy source are called phototrophs, whereas those that obtain energy through redox chemical reactions are called chemotrophs. Among chemosynthetic organisms, those 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. The number of microorganisms living in soil and the ocean accounts for more than half of all living organisms on Earth, and many of them obtain energy through chemical reactions such as the fixation of molecular nitrogen ( N2) and the production of nitric acid by the oxidation of ammonia. …
