  • Microbial alteration of the seafloor

    Creator:
    Josef, Jennifer A.
    Abstract:
    In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...

  • Biotic alteration of oceanic basalt glass

    Creator:
    Drinnan, Megan R.
    Abstract:
    The subsurface microbial biosphere in the igneous oceanic crust has implications for global geochemical cycling, early life on Earth, and the search for life on Mars. Microscopic evidence of a subsurface microbial ecosystem includes biotic alteration textures associated with basaltic glass. The exact conditions in the basaltic layer that make...
