Typically the green and purple sulfur bacteria live in that chemocline, enjoying the supply of H2S from below and sunlight from above.

绿硫菌与紫硫菌通常会生活在化变层，享受下方源源不绝的硫化与上方充足的阳光。

So long as their balance remains undisturbed, the oxygenated and hydrogen sulfide–saturated waters stay separated, and their interface, known as the chemocline, is stable.

直到达、不互相干扰，充氧的海水与饱和硫化的海水彼此分隔，而且两者间的界面「化变层」也是稳定的。
