Chemosynthesizing proteins are small clusters of protein in the cytoplasm that are able to convert '''Hydrogen Sulfide''', gaseous '''Carbon Dioxide''' and water into '''Glucose''' in a process called '''Hydrogen Sulfide Chemosynthesis'''. The rate of its '''Glucose''' production scales with the concentration of '''Carbon Dioxide'''. Since the chemosynthesizing proteins are suspended directly in the cytoplasm, the surrounding fluid performs some '''Glycolysis'''.

With chemosynthesizing proteins, cells gain access to one of the most abundant and reliable sources of energy in the volcanic vents; '''Hydrogen Sulfide'''. Being a storable compound, it can be stockpiled in excess within the cell as it is steadily processed into '''Glucose''', allowing for more overall energy stores to be held at one time.

To build an effective chemosynthesizing bacteria, one need only enough proteins to generate a net increase of '''Glucose''' within the cell. A great way to start is by placing two chemosynthesizing proteins on the first generation, and then a '''Metabolosome''' and whichever part you would prefer to power in the generation after. From there on, it is typically safe practice to only place an additional chemosynthesizing protein per every two other parts.

Be wary however, as '''Hydrogen Sulfide'' is only present in a select few biomes in the world. Evolving yourself to rely on it as your primary energy source will effectively prevent you from safely traveling to many other environments should the need arise.

Small clusters of protein in the Cytoplasm that convert Hydrogen Sulfide hydrogensulfide, gaseous Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide and water into Glucose glucose in a process called Bacterial Chemosynthesis. The rate of Glucose glucose production scales with the concentration of Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide.

Requirements

No requirements.

Processes

Bacterial Chemosynthesis: Hydrogen Sulfide hydrogensulfide + Carbon Dioxide carbondioxideGlucose glucose

Converts Hydrogen Sulfide hydrogensulfide into Glucose glucose. Rate scales with concentration of environmental Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide.

Glycolysis: Glucose Glucose glucoseATP atp

Since Chemosynthesizing Proteins are suspending in Cytoplasm, they also perform some Glycolysis.

Strategy

With Chemosynthesizing Proteins, cells gain access to one of the most abundant and reliable sources of energy in the volcanic vents, Hydrogen Sulfide hydrogensulfide. This can be stockpiled and steadily processed into Glucose glucose, allowing for more energy stores to be held at one time.

To build an effective chemosynthesizing bacteria, you only need enough Chemosynthesizing Proteins to generate a net increase of Glucose glucose within the cell. A great way to start is by placing two Chemosynthesizing Proteins in the first generation, then Metabolosomes and whichever part you would prefer to power in the generation after. From there on, it is typically safe practice to only place an additional hex of Chemosynthesizing Proteins per every two other parts.

Be wary however, as Hydrogen Sulfide hydrogensulfide is only present in a select few biomes in the world. Evolving yourself to rely on it as your primary energy source will effectively prevent you from safely traveling to many other environments.
