This process could provide 60% of the sulfide needed by a tubeworm aggregation to persist for 80 y.

suggest a broader mutualistic interaction between the tubeworm, its endosymbiont, and benthic hydrocarbon-degrading and sulfide-producing microbes.
Vent tubeworm colonies will die when their chimneys stop venting, i.e., delivering sulfide, so they are adapted to a rapidly changing environment, as typified by their fast growth and high reproduction.
Hence, the tubeworm roots may provide an excellent habitat for anaerobic hydrocarbon oxidizers.
