In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules (e.g. hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms ...

• (n.) Synthesis of organic compounds by energy derived from chemical changes or reactions. Chemosynthesis of carbohydrates occurs in the nitrite bacteria through the oxidation of ammonia to nitrous acid, and in the nitrate bacteria through the conversion of nitrous into nitric acid.

a biological process by which an organism uses the energy from the oxidation of inorganic substances such as ammonia, sulfur, and hydrogen to form organic compounds. Unlike photosynthesis, chemosynthesis does not require sunlight, so this process can occur at great depths in the ocean.
