Descriptor English: Chemoautotrophic Growth
Descriptor Spanish: Crecimiento Quimioautotrófico
Descriptor crecimiento quimioautótrofo
Scope note: Crecimiento de microorganismos que utilizan PROCESOS AUTÓTROFOS para obtener nutrientes y procesos quimiótrofos para obtener su aporte principal de energía. Los procesos quimiótrofos intervienen en la obtención del aporte principal de energía de fuentes químicas exógenas. Los autótrofos quimiótrofos (quimioautótrofos) generalmente usan compuestos inorgánicos como fuentes de energía y, por tanto, se denominan quimiolitoautótrofos. La mayoría de los quimioautótrofos viven en medios hostiles, como las fumarolas marinas profundas. Son sobre todo BACTERIAS y ARCHAEA, y son los principales productores de estos ecosistemas.

Scope note: Growth of organisms using AUTOTROPHIC PROCESSES for obtaining nutrients and chemotrophic processes for obtaining a primary energy supply. Chemotrophic processes are involved in deriving a primary energy supply from exogenous chemical sources. Chemotrophic autotrophs (chemoautotrophs) generally use inorganic chemicals as energy sources and as such are called chemolithoautotrophs. Most chemoautotrophs live in hostile environments, such as deep sea vents. They are mostly BACTERIA and ARCHAEA, and are the primary producers for those ecosystems.
