Is there a species of bacteria that doesn't use Electron transport chain or Chemiosmosis?

Question

Just the species name would be fine but if you've got an article about it that would be great.

I do not believe so because the electron transport chain is needed for sure for aerobic cellular respiration. Likely anaerobic bacteria.

As for chemiosmosis potential, no bacteria would survive without that. It is so useful in moving around flagella and other processes that without this form of energy, I have no idea how a bacteria would survive.
