  1. Chemilithotrophic bacteria (obtain energy by breaking inorganic chemical bonds) exist in deep ocean vents, but they also exist much closer to you and I in the soil! The Thiobacillus genera of bacteria obtain energy in this way and are found in all of the worlds soils...


  2. the one at the deepest depths of the ocean where sunlight cannot reach. the one at the volcanic trenches.

  3. There are some deep sea bacteria that thrive around geothermal vents on the ocean floor.  It is one of the only living organisms to be the start of a food chain that do not rely on the sun.
