Test of viability measures in starved, sedimentary, anaerobic bacterial isolates and in a temperature stressed estuarine sedimentary microbial community : insights for deep biosphere studies
Marine sediments harbour vast and diverse prokaryotic communities. With ongoing burial and ageing of respective sediment layers, however, available organic matter becomes more recalcitrant. Thus, sedimentary microorganisms face starvation and ultimately death. Nonetheless, live and active cells are...
