Description

Assessments of bacterial and archaeal diversity from three distinct hydrothermal vents in the Middle Valley vent field along the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Samples were recovered from actively venting sulfide deposits in the Middle Valley vent field along the Juan de Fuca Ridge at Needles (48.45778, -128.709), Dead Dog (48.45603,-128.71), and Chowder Hill (48.455543, -128.709) vents.
