Microbial succession during the transition from active to inactive stages of deep-sea hydrothermal vent sulfide chimneys

Abstract Background Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are highly productive biodiversity hotspots in the deep ocean supported by chemosynthetic microorganisms. Prominent features of these systems are sulfide chimneys emanating high-temperature hydrothermal fluids. While several studies have investigated t...
