Co² H²s Energy 2s Chemoautotrophic Bacteria Requirements Mechanism

Chemoautotrophic bacteria require H²S, O², and CO², obtaining energy by oxidizing H²S, which is then used for photosynthesis.

Las bacterias quimioautótrofas requieren H²S, O² y CO² y obtienen energía oxidando H²S, que luego utilizan para la fotosíntesis.

mechanism
Back H²S, O², CO²

They oxidize hydrogen sulphide (H²S) to obtain energy.
Then they use H²S to store this energy into CO²
2H²S + O² → Energy + 2H²O + 2S
CO² + H²S → (CH²O)n + H²O + 2S
