The gamma-Proteobacterium T. crunogena is cosmopolitan.
Originally isolated from the East Pacific Rise, it was subsequently cultivated
or detected with molecular methods from deep-sea vents in both
the Pacific and Atlantic. Further, closely related species
have been found at shallow-water hydrothermal vents.
It has a remarkably high growth rate for a chemoautotroph,
with a doubling time of about an hour.

• A chemoautotroph with a carbon concentrating mechanism?
• The big picture
• The specifics (devil's in the details...)
