From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemosynthetic symbiosis is a type of symbiotic relationship between two or more species, where at least one partner is able to grow and reproduce using inorganic chemicals as an energy source (chemosynthesis). The other partner may rely on its chemosynthetic symbiont for food. Examples include the tubeworm Riftia pachyptila from deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and the bivalve family Lucinidae from seagrass ecosystems in coastal environments.
