It's an actual thig, dude.

"Deep, under perpetual ice cover, with reduced photosynthesis and thus little organic matter coming from above, the sea floor of the central Arctic Ocean is a marine desert, its life more sparse than in other ocean basins. But photosynthesis is not the only basis for life: locally, methane and hydrogen sulfide seep from the ocean floor, supporting dense oases of organisms that depend on bacteria able to consume these chemicals. Such "chemosynthetic" life does not directly depend on sunlight and can thrive even at great ocean depths." - http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/essay_vogt.html

and its saying its made FROM the expressions of microorganisms. as in, they express "to exude or emit (a liquid, odor, etc.), as if under pressure" the chemicals. Re-read it, man. its a perfectly viable scientific THEORY, not at all practical though of course.
