These would be CHEMOSYNTHETIC bacteria.

Explanation:

Chemosynthetic bacteria live in harsh environments where generally sunlight is not available. Deep sea vents, hot springs, coastal sediments, etc. are such places where chemosynthetic bacteria are present.

These bacteria are also called chemoautotrophs; they use various inorganic molecules to generate organic compounds.
