Microbial diversity and respiratory processes in hydrothermal sediment

In marine hydrothermal sediments metal-rich, reduced fluids and oxidised seawater form steep geochemical gradients supporting abundant, but as yet poorly defined, chemosynthetic life and biogeochemical cycling. This project elucidates the functional diversity of chemosynthetic micro-organisms, and m...
