We thank the chief scientists, and the captains and crews of the research vessels and remotely operated vehicles involved in sampling and analyses at sea. Thank you to D. Garbe-Schonberg, K. van der Heijden and J. Stecher for on-board sampling and analysis, and S. Duperron, M.-A. Cambon-Bonavita and M. Zbinden for providing samples. We acknowledge B. Friedrich and O. Lenz for the antiserum against the C. necator uptake hydrogenase, J. Milucka for help with western blots and T. Holler for culturing C. necator. S. Wetzel provided technical assistance. This work was supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG) Priority Program 1144 "From Mantle to Ocean: Energy-, Material- and Life Cycles at Spreading Axes" (publication number 60), the DFG Cluster of Excellence "The Ocean in the Earth System" at MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Sciences), and the Max Planck Society.
