  1. phototropic bacteria

    Phototropic bacteria are a type of bacteria that respond to light, moving towards or away from it. They use light as an energy source for photosynthesis, a process in which they convert light energy into chemical energy for growth and reproduction. There are two types: phototrophic bacteria (such as cyanobacteria) that produce oxygen, and anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria that don't produce oxygen during photosynthesis. They play important roles in various biogeochemical cycles, including the carbon and nitrogen cycles.
