Detailed Solution

The mode of nutrition seen in bacteria is both autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition.

Some bacteria like cyanobacteria are called autotrophic bacteria because they can synthesize their food (organic substances) through various sources such as light and chemicals.

Some bacteria depend on other organisms for nutrition and hence show heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
