Microbial Diversity of Deep-Sea Ferromanganese Crust Field in the Rio Grande Rise, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
The objective of this study is to understand how microbial community structure is shaped by Fe-Mn substrates at the Rio Grande Rise, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean.For this purpose, we analyzed Fe-Mn crust biofilm-like, crust, encrusted coral skeleton and calcarenite samples from Rio Grande Rise.
