- The source of energy for deep organisms is the bacterias that take special process called chemosynthesis. These bacterias are called as extremophiles.
- they turn chemicals in the water pouring from hydrothermal vents, mostly hydrogen sulphide, into food.
- It's not just bacteria at the bottom of the ocean. Weird and wonderful animals feed on the bacteria, and on each other! Tube worms, found surrounding hydrothermal vents, let the extremophile bacteria live inside them. These bacteria provide nutrients for the tube worm and the tube worm provides hydrogen sulphide for the bacteria. It's a good example of symbiosis: a relationship between two organisms where both of them benefit.
