Deep Sea Mining Zone Hosts CO2-Consuming Bacteria
Scientists have discovered that CO2-consuming bacteria in the deepest parts of the seafloor could be turning themselves into an additional food source for other deep-sea life. Bacteria living 4000m below the ocean surface in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ) are consuming carbon dioxide and turning it into biomass, a new study shows. Until now, scientists ...
