Black smoker communities, found near hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, derive their energy primarily from chemosynthesis. In this process, bacteria utilize hydrogen sulfide, which is released from the vents, to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds. These bacteria form the base of the food web, supporting a diverse range of organisms, including tube worms, clams, and other marine life that thrive in these extreme environments.

How do biological communities around black smokers survive?

They must depend on nutrients found in the dusty chemical deposits and hydrothermal fluids in which they live. Bacteria uses the minerals released by the black smoker in a process called chemosynthesis. Unlike photosynthesis, which uses light, this uses the energy in those chemicals. Animals feed on the bacteria, and are eaten by larger animals, etc.
