[Significance of the energy of symbiotic bacteria in metabolism of hydrothermal and other chemotrophic biota of the ocean].
The bacterial origin of eukaryotic mitochondria, specifically in Metazoa, as a mechanism of their basic (aerobic) respiration and the role of symbiotic bacteria during the supply of energy to the metazoan host is proved for the first time from the viewpoint of the monophyletic development of the organic world and the origin of eukaryotes as descendants of prokaryotes Representatives of the hydrothermal bacteriochemosymbiotrophic bottom fauna of the open sea were used as examples.
