SAPROPHYTIC NUTRITION The saprophytic mode of nutrition is dis- played by most of the yeasts, molds, and bacteria. Saprophytic organisms, like ani- mals, require at least a minimum of pre- formed organic food; but lacking a digestive cavity, saprophytes must absorb their organic nutrients directly from the environment. Therefore the localities favorable for the growth of saprophytes are very limited. Such form
