Zonation of Microbial Communities by a Hydrothermal Mound in the Atlantis II Deep (the Red Sea).

In deep-sea geothermal rift zones, the dispersal of hydrothermal fluids of moderately-high temperatures typically forms subseafloor mounds. Major mineral components of the crust covering the mound are barite and metal sulfides. As a result of the continental rifting along the Red Sea, metalliferous...
