Microbial Experiment at Base of Mushroom
Close-up view of a microbial experiment (tubes at right) being conducted by Harvard University. The experiment is located in a diffuse flow site, surrounded by limpets, small tube worms and palm worms. In part, this study is designed to look at microbial utilization of sulfur in these systems. The green lasers from the ROV ROPOS are 10 cm apart. VISIONS '13, Leg 4
