The new research also reveals that the bacteria can use manganese for a process called chemosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide into biomass. Researchers had speculated that unidentified ...

In the meantime, the researchers on the new study plan to try to identify the bacteria that can live on atmospheric chemosynthesis. “As part of the next phase, we aim to isolate one of these ...

As we report in Nature Microbiology, many ocean bacteria in fact gain energy from two dissolved gases, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, in a process called chemosynthesis. This hidden but ancient ...

The process that sustains deep-sea tubeworms is called chemosynthesis. Here, bacteria convert toxic chemicals into energy, just as plants use sunlight in photosynthesis. The bacteria oxidize ...

In a process called chemosynthesis, symbiotic bacteria inside the tubeworm use hydrogen sulfide spewed from the vents as an energy source for themselves and for the worms. In this episode ...

The hydrothermalism in the coastal sediments of Paliochori Bay strongly affects biogeochemical processes there and supports chemosynthesis ... as sulfur-oxidizing bacteria to use chemical energy ...

This oxidization is harnessed to convert carbon dioxide into biomass, in a process known as chemosynthesis, enabling the bacteria to grow. Scientists already knew about bacteria and fungi that ...
