    Chemosynthetic bacteria or chemoautotropic bacteria is the new bacteria that was found by scientists in a hot water sulfur spring that uses sulfur as a source of energy instead of sunlight. This kind of bacteria can survive at a higher temperature than most organisms can. The bacteria uses the toxic hydrogen sulfide to produce organic materials by the process of chemosynthesis. These bacteria are a source of life for several other organisms that flourish in such conditions. The bacteria grows and forms a thick mat and this attracts several other organisms as the bacteria becomes a source of food.
