Chemosynthetic bacteria and archaea form the base of the food chain.

Round a hydro thermal vent, the source of energy is chemical (from Hydrogen Sulfide) rather than light. Specialised singe celled organisms from the bacteria and archaea (called chemotrophs) use the chemical energy to grow and then various more normal animals eat the bacteria.
