  Phototroph - EvoWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
A phototroph is an organism whose energy source is sunlight; such organisms are said to practice photosynthesis.
The most familiar phototrophs include the oxygen-releasers: plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
The large majority of phototrophs use chlorophyll-carotenoid-protein complexes or "photosystems" to capture light.

 Rhodospirillum rubrum
It does not produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, thus it is an anoxygenic phototroph (Michigan State, Brock).
Phototrophic purple nonsulfur bacteria are used in sewage treatment processes, for biomass production as a source of animal food or agricultural fertilizer, and production of molecular hydrogen by evolution from nitrogenase.
They may be used also as a source of cell-free systems performing photosynthesis and ATP formation, and for the production of vitamins and other organic molecules (Balows pg.2151).

 Autotroph - EvoWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
An autotroph is an organism which is capable of obtaining all the carbon it requires from carbon dioxide, the main usable inorganic form of carbon on Earth.
Autotrophs can get their energy either from light (phototrophs) or from chemical reactions (chemotrophs); the latter are almost always lithotrophs.
The most familiar autotrophs are the oxygen-releasing photosynthesizers: plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, but many other prokaryotes are also autotrophic, being not only phototrophic like plants, but also chemotrophic.

Autotrophs that obtain energy by oxidizing chemical compounds are called chemotrophs, and those that obtain their energy from light, via photosynthesis, are called phototrophs.
These anoxygenic phototrophs fall into four phylogenetic groups: the green sulfur bacteria, green non-sulfur bacteria, purple bacteria, and heliobacteria.
Other nutritional requirements include nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, vitamins and metallic elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, cobalt, copper and nickel for normal growth.

If the phototroph is green it’s either a green sulfer/nonsulfer or a heliobacteria.
The presence of Bchl a and the fact that our phototroph was purple in non-sulfer media leads to the conclusion that it belongs the purple sulfer group.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A NOVEL EUKARYOTIC PHOTOTROPH ISOLATED FROM THE HALOALKALINE MONO LAKE, CALIFORNIA
A novel unicellular phototroph was isolated from meromictic Mono Lake, where it occupies two niches: the upper mixolimnion that undergoes seasonal variations while remaining oxygenic, hyperalkaline and hypersaline, and the deep anoxic monimolimnion that is additionally characterized by extreme methane, sulfide and ammonia concentrations.
Maximal cell concentrations occur at the chemocline indicating the organism's ability to adapt not only to these conditions but also to extreme gradients, while still accounting for nearly half of the lake's annual primary production.
