A chemosynthetic bacteria is a producer. Chemosynthetic bacteria produce energy by using chemical reactions similar to photosynthesis but without the light as a catalyst. A chemosynthetic bacteria can produce organic molecules (i.e. glucose) from inorganic molecules just like photosynthetic organisms.
