What is the key difference between photoheterotrophs and photoautotrophs? Photoheterotrophs produce oxygen as a by-product; photoautotrophs do not. Photoautotrophs only use bacteriochlorophyll; photoheterotrophs only use chlorophyll a. Photoheterotrophs use hydrogen sulfide for reducing power; photoautotrophs do not. Photoheterotrophs use organic compounds as their carbon source; photoautotrophs use carbon dioxide as their carbon source.
