Significant contribution of Archaea to extant biomass in marine subsurface sediments

Deep drilling into the marine sea floor has uncovered a vast sedimentary ecosystem of microbial cells 1 , 2 . Extrapolation of direct counts of stained microbial cells to the total volume of habitable marine subsurface sediments suggests that between 56 Pg (ref. 1 ) and 303 Pg (ref. 3 ) of cellular...
