The video explores the process of photosynthesis, highlighting a discovery of photosynthesizing bacteria living deep in the ocean where sunlight is absent. These bacteria, known as green sulfur bacteria, utilize geothermal light from hydrothermal vents to survive. The discovery challenges the traditional understanding of photosynthesis, suggesting it can occur in environments without sunlight, potentially even on other planets. The bacteria's adaptation to low-light conditions and their evolutionary journey are also discussed.
