Hydrothermal vents and the origin of life
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008Submarine 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.

Scientists as Stakeholders in Conservation of Hydrothermal Vents
Conservation Biology, 2011Abstract: Hydrothermal vents are deep‐sea ecosystems that are almost exclusively known and explored by scientists rather than the general public. Continuing scientific discoveries arising from study of hydrothermal vents are concommitant with the increased number of scientific cruises visiting and sampling vent

Passive acoustic monitoring of hydrothermal vents at the endeavour hydrothermal vent field
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021Passive 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, 2000Hot, 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.

The Origin of Life in Alkaline Hydrothermal Vents
Astrobiology, 2016Over 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.

Geomicrobiology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
Science, 1985During the cycling of seawater through the earth's crust along the mid-ocean ridge system, geothermal energy is transferred into chemical energy in the form of reduced inorganic compounds. These compounds are derived from the reaction of seawater with crustal rocks at high temperatures and are emitted from warm (≤25°C) and hot (∼350°C) submarine vents ...
