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...
