	saprotroph
		They include most fungi (the rest being parasites);; many bacteria and protozoa;; animals such as dung beetles and vultures;; and a few unusual plants, including several orchids.
		Saprotrophs cannot make food for themselves, so they are a type of heterotroph.
		They are useful scavengers, and in sewage farms and refuse dumps break down organic matter into nutrients easily assimilable by green plants.

	ICOM II Abstract: Lindahl.html
		Interactions between saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungi have been almost ignored although their mycelia often share the same microsites.
		Mycelial systems show similarity to each other and, although the enzymatic competence of the saprotrophic fungi is generally considered to be higher, the importance of organic nutrient sources to ectomycorrhizal fungi is now widely accepted.
		P to the saprotroph from labelled mycorrhizal mycelium was an order of magnitude lower.

		Saprotroph (also saprobe) is an organism that obtains its nutrients from non-living organic matter, usually dead and decaying plant or animal matter, by absorbing soluble organic compounds.

		Since saprotrophs cannot make food for themselves, they are considered a type of heterotroph.
		Animal scavengers, such as dung beetles, vultures, and a few unusual non-photosynthetic plants are also sometimes referred to as saprotrophs, but are more commonly called saprophages.
		Plants that were once considered saprophytes, such as non-photosynthetic orchids and monotropes, are now known to be parasites on other plants.

	Saprotroph - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Saprotroph (or Saprobe) is an organism that gets its energy from non-living organic matter.
		This may be decaying pieces of plants or animals.
		The problem with that name was that no embryophytes (land plants) are true saprotrophs.

		Interactions between saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal fungi have been largely ignored, although their mycelia often share the same microsites.
		The mycelial systems show general similarity to each other and, although the enzymatic potential of the saprotrophic fungi is generally considered to be higher, the importance of organic nutrient sources to ectomycorrhizal fungi is now widely accepted.
		The transfer of P-32 to the saprotroph from labelled mycorrhizal mycelium was one to two orders of magnitude lower.

	Alternaria
		British distribution: Probably ubiquitous on dead and dying plant material.
		A very common hyphomycete on leaf surfaces, as a secondary pathogen or saprotroph.
		It does not form noticeable colonies but its characteristic conidia are often found during examination of leaf lesions caused by rusts and other primary pathogens.

	Simple life-Level III Life: Fungi
		Their food is the bacteria that live on the dead bodies or waste of other organisms, breaking down molecular structures into amino acids and polymers.
		Yeast fungi is the natural predator of ecoli and other predatory bacteria that lives of the carcase of dead or dying cells.
		The importance is simply that different types of saprotroph yeast cells are a natural predatorily enemy to the bacteria that make us sick.

	Poster 144: Wood-Destroying Fungal Infection of Primeval Spruce Forests in Various Forest Belts of the European Russia
		Storodzenko, Vladimir G. The structures of phytocoenoses and wood-destroying complexes (age,space and reproductive structures, fallen timber complexes, species composition of biotrophes and saprotrophes, their ratio and activity) were studied.
		The average number of most important wood-destroying saprotroph fungi on fallen timber was 25 species in the mixed forest belt.
		The optimal ratio of the biotroph and saprotroph fungal species was determinant for the resistance of forest communities among other factors.

	Saprotroph - Emaltaswiki
		They include many fungi (the rest being parasites or mutualistic symbionts), bacteria, and protozoa.
		Animal scavengers, such as dung beetles, and vultures and a few unusual non-photosynthetic plants are also sometimes referred to as saprotrophs.
		The suffix -phyte means "plant", however, there are no truly saprotrophic organisms that are embryophytes, and fungi and bacteria are no longer placed in the Plant Kingdom.

	JELLY FUNGI (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The best-known example is the "ear fungus" Auricularia auricula (Figs 1, 2), which is a common saprotroph on elder bushes (Sambucus nigra).
		The expanded fruitbodies of this fungus often occur in clusters but individual fruitbodies can be up to 10 cm or more.
		It grows as a saprotroph on the decaying stumps of coniferous trees, especially pines.

	Fungal ecology - introduction
		A fungus that feeds on dead organic matter is a saprotroph.
		Fungi that get their nutrients from living organisms do so in a variety of ways but can be put into two broad categories.
		The fungi may cause galls in the trees, as shown in this photo of Cyttaria gunnii fruiting bodies growing from a large, fungally-induced gall on a Nothofagus tree in New Zealand.

		Describe what is meant by a food chain giving three examples, each with at least three linkages (four organisms).
		Explain the role of saprotrophic bacteria and fungi (decomposers) in recycling nutrients.

	BlurtIt: What are decomposers?
		They further decompose the remains of a dead creature even after a scavenger, detritivore or saprotroph has.
		They are organisms that break down or decompose organic materials, from which they get essential nutrients and energy.
		Many types of fungi, bacteria and protozoa are saprotrophs.
