Saturated CO<sub>2</sub> inhibits microbial processes in CO<sub>2</sub>-vented deep-sea sediments

This study focused on biogeochemical processes and microbial activity in sediments of a natural deep-sea CO<sub>2</sub> seepage area (Yonaguni Knoll IV hydrothermal system, Japan). The aim was to assess the influence of the geochemical conditions occurring in highly acidic and CO<sub&...
