Sulfide-Driven Autotrophic Balance in the Bacterial Symbiont-Containing Hydrothermal Vent Tubeworm, Riftia pachyptila Jones

Hydrothermal vent tubeworms, Riftia pachyptila Jones, were maintained alive and studied on board ship using flow-through pressure aquaria. Simultaneous measurements of O2,Σ CO2,Σ H2S fluxes showed that the intact symbioses reach maximum rates of uptake of $\Sigma {\rm CO}_{2}(>2\ \mu {\rm mole}\...
