Oxygen-minimum zone sediments in the northeastern Arabian Sea off Pakistan : a habitat for the bacterium Thioploca

Filamentous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and geochemical parameters of sediments at the Makran Accretionary Wedge in the northeastern Arabian Sea off Pakistan were studied. The upper continental slope between 350 and 850 m water depth, which is in the center of the oxygen-minimum zone, is characterized...

Zusammenfassung:	Filamentous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and geochemical parameters of sediments at the Makran Accretionary Wedge in the northeastern Arabian Sea off Pakistan were studied. The upper continental slope between 350 and 850 m water depth, which is in the center of the oxygen-minimum zone, is characterized by numerous sites of small-scale seeps of methane- and sulfide-charged porewater.
