Microbes as the First Organisms
No one knows for certain where life began. Hot springs and volcanic (hydrothermal) vents on the ocean floor, however, may represent the kinds of environments where cellular life began.

In some of these strains, Yen and Barr (1971) found substantial numbers of Rickettsia-like microbes in adults, eggs and embryos. Compatibility of mosquito strains seems to be correlated with the strain of the microbe present.
