remove methane and hydrogen sulfide
remove methane and hydrogen sulfide

block sunlight
block sunlight

remove oxygen and carbon dioxide

Answer 1

To eliminate organisms that undergo chemosynthesis, the most effective technique would be to remove methane and hydrogen sulfide. These substances are often used by chemosynthetic organisms (such as certain bacteria) as energy sources to synthesize organic compounds. By removing these key substrates, you would effectively target their energy production and survival.
