(I will never forget how horrified I was as a young student by the amounts of almost human-like blood flowing into my lab dish while dissecting tubeworms to analyze trophosome enzyme activity.)
Some pogonophoran tubeworms at seeps have teamed with methane-oxidizing symbionts to profit from the high availability of hydrocarbons, but seep vestimentiferans do not appear to be able to directly tap this resource.
How might tubeworms, sulfide-oxidizing symbionts, and benthic hydrocarbon degraders overcome these limitations?
Vestimentiferan tubeworms living at cold hydrocarbon seeps, i.e., the lamellibrachids and escarpids, are adapted to a sedimentary environment, with a substantial part of the body and tube of many species extending into the mud.
Hence, it may even be concluded that tubeworms farm anaerobic hydrocarbon degraders to provide a steady supply of sulfide to their endosymbionts.
