Study provides insight into how some species thrive in dark, oxygen-free environments

  • A study revealed that metallic rocks on the Pacific Ocean's seabed can produce oxygen in dark, oxygen-free environments, challenging previous scientific beliefs about oxygen production.
  • Andrew Sweetman from the Scottish Association for Marine Science is leading a three-year project to investigate dark oxygen production further, funded by the Nippon Foundation.
  • Research on foraminifera by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution showed that these organisms survive in dark, oxygen-free environments by using chemoautotrophy to obtain energy.
  • NASA is interested in the findings related to dark oxygen as it may provide insights into how life could exist on other planets without sunlight.
