Journal ArticleDOI

A marine microbial consortium apparently mediating anaerobic oxidation of methane

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide microscopic evidence for a structured consortium of archaea and sulphate-reducing bacteria, which are identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization using specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytodetritus on the deep-sea floor in a central oceanic region of the Northeast Atlantic

TL;DR: In a midoceanic region of the northeast Atlantic, patches of freshly deposited phytodetritus were discovered on the sea floor at a 4500 m depth in July/August 1986 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benthic response to the sedimentation of particulate organic matter at the BIOTRANS station, 47°N, 20°W

TL;DR: The strong reaction of the smaller benthic size groups (bacteria, protozoans) to POM pulses stresses their particular importance for sediment-water interface flux rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity, Distribution, and Diversity of Sulfate Reducers and Other Bacteria in Sediments above Gas Hydrate (Cascadia Margin, Oregon)

TL;DR: In this article, the diversity and distribution of sulfate-reducing bacteria in cold seeps were investigated. But the authors focused on the presence of methanotrophic archaea, which can be identified by specific biomarker lipids and 16S rDNA analysis.
