Does anyone know what heterotrophic means?: "heterotrophic activities of the microbial flora" James-Osbourne: Holmes Hi James, Hetero. Other,different Trophic. Of nutrition. (but it's used in terms of growth, action on something i.e the gonadotrophic hormones work or have action upon the gonads) As far as I'm aware virtually all bacteria are h/trophic and all animals. It's eating (and assimilation).
