Oxygen Producing Chemosynthesis

Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of inorganic matter to create nutrients to sustain living organisms. One of the most widely known or popular examples is its use in the Giant Tube Worm, which uses an organ that contains chemosynthetic bacteria.

The chemosynthesis of hydrogen sulfide uses 12 hydrogen sulfides and 6 carbon dioxides to create a carbohydrate, 6 waters, and 12 sulphurs. Is it feasible that a bacteria or plant-like organism alter this process to further process that water into oxygen, and why would it do this?
