Incorrect information about the so-called Retinalophototrophs or Retinalophototrophy

[edit]

Both articles mentioninig Retinalophototroph (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototroph and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinalophototroph) are incorrect. The way Retinalophototrophs (this is not even a nutrition class or microorganism group) are explained is a mess and seems like it resulted through "independent" work. The so-called retinalophototrophs are NOT autotrophs, but heterotrophs in the photoheterotrophy. References 1 to 4 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinalophototroph do not mention these are autotrophic organisms, while 6 clearly states they are HETEROtrophs (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aaw8855), while in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototroph there is no source for the info. -Paul- (talk) 22:24, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
