Photosynthesis is not the only way to produce biomass from carbon dioxide. Researchers from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have discovered that many of the myriads of bacteria living in the deep ocean are able to use carbon dioxide to build their bodies in a process akin to plant photosynthesis -- but these bacteria convert carbon dioxide to organic compounds in complete darkness.
