Microbial colonization of basaltic glasses in hydrothermal organic-rich sediments at Guaymas Basin

Microbial colonization of basaltic glasses in hydrothermal organic-rich sediments at Guaymas Basin

Oceanic basalts host diverse microbial communities with various metabolisms involved in C, N, S and Fe biogeochemical cycles which may contribute to mineral and glass alteration processes at, and below the seafloor. In order to study the microbial colonization on basaltic glasses and their potential...
