Microbial communities on seafloor basalts at Dorado Outcrop reflect level of alteration and highlight global lithic clades
Areas of exposed basalt along mid-ocean ridges and at seafloor outcrops serve as conduits of fluid flux into and out of a subsurface ocean, and microbe-mineral interactions can influence alteration reactions at the rock-water interface. Located on the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise, Dorado O...
