Cells that breathe oxygen and sulfur at the same time

news.ycombinator.com Jake Buehler 2025-12-25 08:38:31

You, being an aerobic organism, use oxygen as the cellular spark that frees molecular energy from the food you eat. But not all organisms on the planet live or breathe this way. Instead of using oxygen to harvest energy, many single-celled life-forms that live in environments far from oxygen’s reach, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents
