I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Metagenomic signatures of the Peru Margin subseafloor biosphere show a genetically distinct environment

These depths include sediments from both primarily sulfate-reducing methane-generating regions of the sediment column.
IMHO, can it be harvested without the watermelons going nuts? Are these critters the source of methane clathrates?
