Deep Heat, Deep Life: The Chemistry of Chemoautotrophs

MP3•Episode home

In this episode we explore chemoautotrophs—organisms that thrive without sunlight by harvesting energy from inorganic chemical reactions at deep-sea vents. We distinguish chemoautotrophs from chemoheterotrophs, look at the microbes that convert rock and chemistry into biomass, and discuss extreme life, practical applications like bioleaching and bioremediation, and what these ecosystems teach us about life beyond Earth.
