Journal ArticleDOI
Is the CH 4 , H 2 and CO venting from submarine hydrothermal systems produced by thermophilic bacteria?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the super-heated waters emanating from sulphide chimneys at 21 °N along the East Pacific Rise and samples from the sulphide smokehouse themselves harbor complex communities of bacteria capable of growing with generation times of 37-65 min, producing CH4, CO, H2 and traces of N2O in media containing S2O2−3, Mn2+ and Fe2+ as energy sources, and oxidizing CH4 at 100 ± 2 °C at 1 atm.
Book ChapterDOI
Reduced Gases and Bacteria in Hydrothermal Fluids: The Galapagos Spreading Center and 21°N East Pacific Rise
TL;DR: In this paper, the Galapagos spreading center (GSC) and at 21°N on the East Pacific Rise were enriched in methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide by orders of magnitude over ambient bottom water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissolved hydrogen and methane in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia
TL;DR: In this paper, the processes responsible for the observed distributions of the gases in Saanich Inlet, a seasonally anoxic fjord, were studied and hydrogen, methane, and relevant microbiological and hydrographic observations were made.
Journal ArticleDOI
CH 4 , H 2 , CO and N 2 O in submarine hydrothermal vent waters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present measurements of concentrations of methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide in the hydrothermal vent waters from the Galapagos Spreading Centre (GSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial microbiological response in lakes to the Mt St Helens eruption
TL;DR: In this paper, the early stages in the establishment and succession of microbial communities and associated chemical and geochemical transformations in aquatic environments shortly after a volcanic event are documented, and the impacted lakes became anaerobic, ultra-eutrophic and developed extensive populations of bacteria, some of which were not common to those environments.
