Close association of active nitrifiers with Beggiatoa mats covering deep‐sea hydrothermal sediments

Hydrothermal sediments in the Guaymas Basin are covered by microbial mats that are dominated by nitrate‐respiring and sulphide‐oxidizing Beggiatoa. The presence of these mats strongly correlates with sulphide‐ and ammonium‐rich fluids venting from the subsurface. Because ammonium and oxygen form opp...
