Deep-Sea Hydrocarbon Seep Communities: Evidence for Energy and Nutritional Carbon Sources

Mussels, clams, and tube worms collected in the vicinity of hydrocarbon seeps on the Louisiana slope contain mostly ``dead'' carbon, indicating that dietary carbon is largely derived from seeping oil and gas. Enzyme assays, elemental sulfur analysis, and carbon dioxide fixation studies dem...
