Microbial community differentiation in vent chimneys of the Lost City Hydrothermal Field reflects habitat heterogeneity

Microbial community differentiation in vent chimneys of the Lost City Hydrothermal Field reflects habitat heterogeneity

Oceanic hydrothermal vent systems represent some of the oldest habitats on Earth and serve as analogs for extraterrestrial environments. The Lost City Hydrothermal Field (LCHF) near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one such environment, and its large chimneys are unique in hosting actively venting hydrothe...
