Journal ArticleDOI
A marine microbial consortium apparently mediating anaerobic oxidation of methane
Antje Boetius,Katrin Ravenschlag,Carsten J. Schubert,Dirk Rickert,Friedrich Widdel,Armin Gieseke,Rudolf Amann,Bo Barker Jørgensen,Ursula Witte,Olaf Pfannkuche +9 more
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.
Phytodetritus on the deep-sea floor in a central oceanic region of the northeast Atlantic

Journal ArticleDOI
Phytodetritus on the deep-sea floor in a central oceanic region of the Northeast Atlantic
Hjalmar Thiel,Olaf Pfannkuche,Gerd Schriever,Karin Lochte,Andrew J. Gooday,Christoph Hemleben,R. F. G. Mantoura,Carol Turley,John W. Patching,F. Riemann +9 more
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)
Katrin Knittel,Antje Boetius,Andreas Lemke,Heike Eilers,Karin Lochte,Olaf Pfannkuche,Peter Linke,Rudolf Amann +7 more
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.
