The role of prokaryotes in subsurface weathering of hydrothermal sediments: a combined geochemical and microbiological investigation

A detailed geochemical and microbiological study of a ~2 m sediment core from the inactive Alvin mounds within the TAG hydrothermal field was conducted to examine, for the first time, the role of prokaryotes in subsurface weathering of hydrothermal sediments. Results show that there has been substan...
