Chemosynthesizing proteins are small clusters of protein in the cytoplasm that are able to convert hydrogen sulfide, gaseous carbon dioxide and water into glucose in a process called hydrogen sulfide chemosynthesis. The rate of its glucose production scales with the concentration of carbon dioxide. Since the chemosynthesizing proteins are suspended directly in the cytoplasm, the surrounding fluid performs some glycolysis.
