  12. Are DHABs’ bacteria adapted to these extreme environmental conditions? • - HP: samples maintained in ambient condition • (anoxia, high pressure, ionic equilibrium…) • + guarantee for aseptic condition • DEC: samples decompressed (change in pressure, ionic equilibrium,anoxia?…) High Pressure Bottle 10 - BioDeep – WP5 – Marseilles, 13-15th April 2002

  13. HP DEC Pe NSW Pe brine Average = 10.3 n = 13 Average = 11,5 n = 7 Pe = rates measured in ambient condition = rates measured on samples decompressed Are DHABs’ bacteria adapted to these extreme environmental conditions? 11

  14. Conclusion • Bacterial activities were detected within all niches sampled: seawater – brine interface, brine, brine – sediment interface and sediment of all DHABs • Distribution of studies activities within the different niches differ for each basin • Aminopeptidase activity was higher in brines comparatively to "normal" deep-sea water • Glutamic acid uptake in DHABs sediment was lower than in "normal" deep sediments • Brine-living bacteria appear to be adapted to these special ambient conditions (high pressure, high salinity, anoxia,…) • It’s the first demonstration of bacterial activities using an experimental strategy which avoided pressure, oxic, …, stresses during retrieval, incubation and sub-sampling. 12 - BioDeep – WP5 – Marseilles, 13-15th April 2002

  15. Bacteria adapted? • But also bacteria originated of the seawater column We pointed out life and activities with bacteria adapted Discussion… Interface or brine sampling? We need result. Is it possible to have safe samples in interface like within the body brine? We have seen the difficulties to compare results obtained at the interface. Maybe, it is more reasonnable to intensify sampling within the bodin brine… 12 - BioDeep – WP5 – Marseilles, 13-15th April 2002
