Oxalotrophic Explained

Oxalotrophic bacteria are bacteria capable of using oxalate as their sole source of carbon and energy.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]} Oxalate is the anion of a salt of oxalic acid; oxalotrophs often consume calcium oxalate. Oxalotrophic bacteria are often facultative methylotrophs.^[7]
