To facilitate even more our lives, there is a tool that can load all this information gathered from the ocean floor and display graphically for us. It is like a Google Maps, but for the ocean floor. This tool is called GeoMapApp. It's free…
The only difference is that we need a really big boats to bring us to the place.
But how this data is collected? One really important tool is sonar systems. These systems emit sound waves that travel through the water and bounce back when …
The type of data collected from measuring the depth of the ocean floor, and all the amazing geological formations that are there, such as mountains, canyons, trenches, is called bathymetric information. With the help of bathymetry, and the…

To show that they are indeed able to switch from host associated to free living lifestyle, but also from chemoautotrophy to heterotrophy, I put trophosome tissue with living symbionts in a small capsule and incubate it with sugars and amin…
