Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 42, No. 2, Pg. 73:
A titanium ring deployed at a Pacific hydrothermal vent site indicates the presence of bacteria thriving beneath the seafloor. Within days, Arcobacter bacteria, discharging from the subsurface, rapidly colonize the ring, producing a white sulfur filament mat up to 3 centimeters thick as they grow.
