Merging genomes with geochemistry in hydrothermal ecosystems.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 10 May 2002

Reysenbach Anna-Louise, Shock Everett

Abstract excerpt

Thermophilic microbial inhabitants of active seafloor and continental hot springs populate the deepest branches of the universal phylogenetic tree, making hydrothermal ecosystems the most ancient continuously inhabited ecosystems on Earth. Geochemical consequences of hot water-rock interactions render these environments habitable and supply a diverse array of energy sources. Clues to the strategies for how life...
