Mats of psychrophilic thiotrophic bacteria associated with cold seeps of the Barents Sea
This study investigated the bacterial diversity associated with microbial mats of polar deep-sea cold seeps. The mats were associated with high upward fluxes of sulfide produced by anaerobic oxidation of methane, and grew at temperatures close to the freezing point of seawater. They ranged from smal...
