<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>saprotroph<br /> Organism that feeds on the excrement or the dead bodies or tissues of others. 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.<br /> <br /> ==reference==<br /> http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/encyclopaedia/hutchinson/m0015160.html</div>
