Biogeography of Persephonella in deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the Western Pacific.

Biogeography of Persephonella in deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the Western Pacific.

Deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields are areas on the seafloor with high biological productivity fueled by microbial chemosynthesis. Members of the Aquificales genus Persephonella are obligately chemosynthetic bacteria, and appear to be key players in carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycles in high tempera...
