There is a great diversity of metabolism in microbes, with new types being discovered regularly. For example, the use of nanowires by the ANME and SRB was only discovered relatively recently (the study described in the introduction was published in 2015). Understanding microbial metabolism is essential to understanding how these organisms function within an ecosystem, including understanding symbiotic associations such as that between ANME and SRB. The terminology below describes metabolic types. Match each metabolic type with the best description.
a. use inorganic compounds for energy and organic compounds as a carbon source.
b. perform CO2 fixation and utilize C02 as their sole carbon source.
c. are organisms that accomplish the catabolism and degradation of a substance through a cooperative effort with one or more other microorganisms.
d. Use light as an energy source and CO2 as a carbon source.
e. Use organic carbon as their carbon source.
f. Use inorganic electron donors and CO2 as a carbon source.
g. Use inorganic organic chemicals as energy
