The Sun gives life to our planet through its rays, and yet some fascinating lifeforms don't need light to live.
Instead of using photosynthesis to store energy in their chemical bonds, some microbes rely purely on the oxidation of inorganic molecules like hydrogen to do the trick.
In fact, as sunlight fades to darkness, a team led by researchers from Monash University in Australia has found evidence that chemosynthesis becomes the primary way of life for invisible marine microbes. In all but one of these samples, the team detected microbes that had the genetic machinery required to both chemosynthesize using hydrogen and photosynthesize.
