Researchers Discover Five New #HydrothermalVents in Pacific Ocean https://www.sci.news/othersciences/geoscience/east-pacific-rise-hydrothermal-vents-12799.html

"#Hydrothermal vents are rich in chemicals that supply energy to #animal life, fueling rich and productive #ecosystems. The new sites... are located on the #EastPacificRise near 10°N latitude, a part of the globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge #volcanic mountain chain, where two #TectonicPlates are splitting apart at a rate of about 11 cm per year."

Bausteine des Lebens: Forschende haben rekonstruiert, wie auf der Urerde erste Zellmembranen entstanden sein könnten - beispielsweise an alkalischen hydrothermalen Quellen im Ozean. #Lebensentstehung #Zellmembran #hydrothermal

"the researchers found it had 13 mitochondrial permeability transition genes... Such genes have been found to assist in detoxifying metals. Thus, having a lot of them would make sense for an organism that lives in a place with high levels of #HeavyMetals."

"Scientists have discovered a new #HydrothermalVent field... when a Galatheid #crab, also known as a #SquatLobster, came into view. The number of #crabs grew until the #scientists finally arrived on the vent field and were excited to find giant #TubeWorms nestled around the hot water. The Ecuadorian observers onboard the vessel named the vent field Sendero del Cangrejo: Trail of the Crabs.”

Scientists Discover New Ecosystem Underneath #Hydrothermal Vents https://schmidtocean.org/scientists-discover-new-ecosystem-underneath-hydrothermal-vents/

"New #ecosystem has been discovered in #volcanic cavities beneath #HydrothermalVents at a well-studied #undersea #volcano on the #EastPacificRise off #CentralAmerica. The landmark 30-day expedition aboard #ResearchVessel Falkor (too) was led by Dr. Monika Bright... Using a #robot, they overturned chunks of volcanic crust, discovering #cave systems teeming with #worms, #snails, and #chemosynthetic #bacteria"
