Sulfur metabolisms in epsilon- and gamma-Proteobacteria in deep-sea hydrothermal fields
In deep-sea hydrothermal systems, super hot and reduced vent fluids from the subseafloor blend with cold and oxidized seawater. Very unique and dense ecosystems are formed within these environments. Many molecular ecological studies showed that chemoautotrophic epsilon- and gamma-Proteobacteria are...
