Searching for hydrothermal vent archaea in the deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin

With increasing subseafloor depth, temperatures increase and impact microbial subsurface life. Will high subseafloor temperatures that approach hydrothermal vent conditions select for hydrothermal vent microbes, including hyperthermophiles? A comprehensive sequencing census is seeking the answer.

Tracking microbial life in the hydrothermally influenced deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin

Microbial life in the deep subsurface redefines the limits of life in the face of energy limitation and heat stress. Who survives deep down, and how? A deep-drilling expedition to hydrothermal Guaymas Basin is exploring these questions from multiple angles.

Great dive story! I understand that one dive is really not enough... the archaea in Guaymas Basin are patiently awaiting more visits from the great space ship with the pressure-sensitive and spectacled aliens inside.
