A large number of organic compounds can be decomposed by:

Options

A. Pseudomonas
B. Azotobacter
C. Mycoplasma
D. Chemolithotrophs

Answer

D

Explanation

Chemolithotrophs are the organisms obtaining energy from oxidation of inorganic compounds. (ATP synthesis coupled to the oxidation of inorganic compounds). They use reducing power obtained directly from reduced inorganic compounds or by reverse electron transport and most can fix `CO_(2)` using the Calvin Cycle. Chemolithotrophs may be found in extremely diverse habitats.
