To effectively eliminate organisms that undergo chemosynthesis, the most effective technique would be to remove methane and hydrogen sulfide. These two compounds are essential for the survival of many chemosynthetic organisms, particularly those found in environments like deep-sea hydrothermal vents where these chemicals serve as energy sources for these organisms. By removing these primary substrates, you would severely impact their ability to perform chemosynthesis and therefore eliminate a significant number of them.
