Bacteria are everywhere! On Earth, at
least. That includes land, air, and in the sea too! All seven of them. With
animals, the ones living in the sea are pretty different to the ones on land;
there aren't many tentacled land animals, for example! Most land animals
wouldn't be too happy if you dropped them in the middle of the atlantic, and
nearly all the fish would be similarly unhappy if you put them in the middle of
a car park. Is it the same with bacteria? How have marine microbes evolved to
survive and thrive in the deep?
