remove methane and hydrogen sulfide
Chemosynthetic organisms get energy by oxidizing inorganic chemicals (e.g., H2S, CH4) to fix CO2 into organic matter. Removing those chemical energy sources would most directly stop their metabolism. Blocking sunlight won't affect them, and removing O2/CO2 or lowering temperature is less broadly effective.
