The “Pourquoi Pas?”, France’s largest oceanographic ship, began a mission of the greatest importance in the summer of 2013. The ‘Biobaz Mission’ will in effect allow the 30 international scientists on board to back up their latest hypothesis that bacteria play an essential role in the survival of underwater animal species living on the volcanoes found at great depths in the ocean. This mutual aid between animals and bacteria throws into question certain fundamental theses that have held sway on the evolution of living creatures up until now.
