Novel Proteobacteria in Microbial Mats at Loihi Seamount
November 13, 2007 / Posted by: Shige Abe
With support from NAI Teams at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and UC Berkeley, researchers at the American Type Culture Collection and their colleagues have a new paper in PLOS One describing a novel lineage of proteobacteria which are dominant in iron-rich hydrothermal vent sites on the Loihi Seamount near Hawai’i. They form a unique morphological structure which could serve as a fossil biomarker.
