  MICROBIAL NUTRITION
Chemoheterotrophs show a wide diversity with respect to the sources of organic nutrients that are essential for their growth.
In the case chemoheterotrophs one nutrient is used as the energy source.
Note the inclusion of organic carbon in both cases, reflecting the chemoheterotrophic nature of fungi, however, in fungal media extracts of plant materials are used in complex media.

 Chemotroph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemoheterotrophs (or chemotrophic heterotrophs) must ingest organic building blocks that they are incapable of creating on their own.
Most chemoheterotrophs derive energy from organic molecules like glucose.
The names of these primary nutritional groups are built from Greek roots.

 Microbial Nutrition
This is because pathogens tend to derive both their energy and their carbon from organic compounds obtained from their hosts, e.g., human bodies.
chemoheterotroph because these microorganisms derive both their energy and their carbon from organic molecules taken from the host.
That is, a auxotroph has, via a mutation, lost an ability to synthesize one or more organic growth factor and consequently must now obtain that (those) organic growth factor(s) from its environment, whereas its recent ancestor in question did/does not.

It has been shown that its optimal growth temperature was at 37 C (10).
vulgaris is a chemoheterotroph, which means it uses carbon sources like glucose for energy and carbon (1); as a chemoheterotroph, it ferments glucose but not lactose or mannitol (2).
However, because it is a facultative anaerobe, the glucose fermentation only occurs in anaerobic conditions; if placed in non-ideal, aerobic conditions, the microbe will use a variety of organic molecules to survive (8).

Under anaerobic conditions, it is able to grow by photosynthesis, respiration, and fermentation.
Aerobically it can grow by respiration as a chemoheterotroph.
It can also be grown either photo- or chemo- lithotrophically on hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Cells of the isolate were rod-shaped and tended to form a chain-link circular structure (a rotund body) at exponential phase under good growth conditions.
The isolate was a chemoheterotroph requiring yeast extract for growth.
Although strain St55BT used oxygen as an electron acceptor, it could not form colonies in an oxygen concentration of more than 5 % (v/v).

 Essential Concepts of Metabolism
Many organisms obtain both their energy and their reduced carbon by eating other organisms, either alive or after the other organism has died, either whole or in parts
Chemoheterotrophs are highly relevant to medical microbiology because essentially all cellular pathogens are chemoheterotrophs
In other words, things that cause disease typically live by eating you
