A nodule-shaped microbial mat was found subsurface in sediments of a gas seep in the anoxic Black Sea. This mat was dominated by ANME-1 archaea and consumed methane and sulfate simultaneously. We propose that such subsurface mats represent the initial stage of previously investigated microbial reefs.
在缺氧的黑海一处天然气渗漏点的沉积物地下发现了一个结节状微生物席。这个微生物席以ANME-1古菌为主,同时消耗甲烷和硫酸盐。我们认为,这种地下微生物席代表了先前研究的微生物礁的初始阶段。
