chemÂ·oÂ·lithÂ·oÂ·auÂ·toÂ·troph. noun. A chemosynthetic organism that obtains energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds and uses carbon dioxide as its sole source of carbon for growth. Also called chemoautotroph, chemolithotroph.
These organisms can derive all their cellular carbon from carbon dioxide, and they are thus able to grow without any organic compounds and without light. Such microorganisms are called chemolithotrophs or chemoautotrophs. Chemolithotrophic life is possible in the presence as well as in the absence of molecular oxygen. Processes mediated by chemolithotrophic prokaryotes include nitrification (the formation of nitrate from ammonia), production of sulfuric acid from sulfide and elemental sulfur, and the formation of methane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
