About Bathymodiolus brooksi

Bathymodiolus brooksi is a species of deep-sea mussel in the family Mytilidae, commonly found in sulfide- and methane-rich hydrocarbon seeps in the Gulf of Mexico. This species harbors symbiotic bacteria in its gills, which enable it to thrive in extreme environments by oxidizing methane or hydrogen sulfide to produce organic compounds. Bathymodiolus brooksi plays a crucial role in deep-sea ecosystems by contributing to nutrient cycling and supporting diverse microbial and faunal communities.
