Salmonella typhimurium obtains energy through chemosynthesis. This process involves breaking down organic molecules through oxidation reactions to produce energy. It does not have the capability to perform photosynthesis, which involves using light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Salmonella typhimurium is a heterotrophic bacterium, meaning it relies on consuming organic compounds from its environment for energy.
