Mussels from deep-sea methane/sulfide seeps in the Gulf of Mexico supplement their symbiotically acquired nitrogen by feeding selectively on nitrogen-rich bacterioplankton. The previously unknown natural diet of the mussels consists of bacteria, Synechococcus-type cyanobacteria, and protozoans. Overall retention increased with increasing mussel size, though the largest mussels did not retain bacteria.
