Dissolved Organic Carbon in Ridge-Axis and Ridge-Flank Hydrothermal Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured DOC concentrations in hydrothermal fluids from several environments, including high-temperature vent fluids from the Main Endeavour Field (MEF) and Axial Volcano (AV), and found that high DOC is correlated with high microbial cell counts in diffuse fluids.
