This research investigates the complex interactions between microbes and Bathymodiolus mussels in deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. It aims to understand how these symbiotic relationships contribute to the unique biodiversity and productivity of these extreme environments.
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in 1977 was one of the most profound findings of the 20th century, revolutionizing our perception of energy sources fueling primary productivity on Earth.
These ecosystems are based on chemosynthesis, that is the fixation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds as in photosynthesis, but using inorganic compounds such as sulfide, methane or hydrogen, as energy sources instead of sunlight.
Hydrothermal vents support tremendous biomass and productivity…
