A string of clams winds across a vent. Through chemosynthesis, it turns out. Vent species rely not on photons from the sun but on chemicals from the Earth's interior. Tiny microbes oxidize the ...

Oceanographer Moronke Harris collects samples of bacteria from deepsea vents that could be key to developing new antiviral ...

And because these underground organisms persist far from sunlight they must exploit chemosynthesis - as opposed to photosynthesis - to nourish themselves. The minerals in the rocks around them are ...

For life to exist in the darkness of a subsurface Europan sea, it would presumably rely on chemosynthesis — energy derived from chemical interactions — as do some organisms at the bottom of Earth’s ...

These bacteria thrive in food, soil, or water. Autotrophic bacteria create their own food through photosynthesis or ...

This process is called chemosynthesis. NARRATOR: Well, sort of. Pizza doesn't come from Mars it originally comes from Italy, but if we look at something called a food chain we can see that all the ...

Requires sunlight Does not produce oxygen. 3) Chemosynthesis: Converts carbon dioxide and reduced chemicals (e.g., sulfide) into sugar and oxidized minerals (e.g., sulfate). Instead of light ...

Upon the discovery of aflatoxin in 1960, and chemosynthesis by Phillip Morris in 1966, the tobacco industry was likely aware that ammonia neutralized aflatoxin as well. Aflatoxin is 200 times more ...

This process is called chemosynthesis. NARRATOR: Well, sort of. Pizza doesn't come from Mars it originally comes from Italy, but if we look at something called a food chain we can see that all the ...

Thousands of metres below the water, they discovered organisms that thrive without light, using chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis. “So the chemicals coming out of the vents are what’s ...
