Passive acoustic monitoring of hydrothermal vents at the endeavour hydrothermal vent field

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021
Passive acoustics may provide a method for detection and long-term monitoring of hydrothermal vents. Direct measurement of vent activity can be challenging as vent plumes are often high temperature (i>300°C) and acidic. The discovery of new vent sites can also be challenging as detection of vent plumes or high-resolution seafloor mapping is ...

Microbial essentials at hydrothermal vents

Nature, 2000
Hot, anoxic fluids emerging from deep-sea hydrothermal vents mix suddenly with cold oxygenated sea water, providing ideal microbial niches for organisms that need limited amounts of oxygen. We have now identified and grown the first microaerophilic, thermophilic eubacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal chimney.

Hydrothermal vents and the origin of life

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008
Submarine hydrothermal vents are geochemically reactive habitats that harbour rich microbial communities. There are striking parallels between the chemistry of the H(2)-CO(2) redox couple that is present in hydrothermal systems and the core energy metabolic reactions of some modern prokaryotic autotrophs.

The Origin of Life in Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents

Astrobiology, 2016
Over the last 70 years, prebiotic chemists have been very successful in synthesizing the molecules of life, from amino acids to nucleotides. Yet there is strikingly little resemblance between much of this chemistry and the metabolic pathways of cells, in terms of substrates, catalysts, and synthetic pathways.
