Xylophaga Eclusion Experiment
Xylophaga in situ Eclusion Experiment
We tested the effect of the presence of Xylophaga sp. on the microbial community and on the hydrogen sulfide concentration during a 85 days experiment at 500m deep. We validate the ability of wood falls microbial community to produce a significant amount of hydrogen sulfide in the absence of Xylophaga sp. during the first months of wood falls colonization
