Are DHABs’ bacteria adapted to these extreme environmental conditions?
- HP: samples maintained in ambient condition(anoxia, high pressure, ionic equilibrium…)+ guarantee for aseptic condition
-DEC: samples decompressed (change in pressure, ionic equilibrium,anoxia?…)

Conclusion Bacterial activities were detected within all niches sampled: seawater – brine interface, brine, brine – sediment interface and sediment of all DHABs
Distribution of studies activities within the different niches differ for each basin
Aminopeptidase activity was higher in brines comparatively to "normal" deep-sea water
Glutamic acid uptake in DHABs sediment was lower than in "normal" deep sediments
Brine-living bacteria appear to be adapted to these special ambient conditions (high pressure, high salinity, anoxia,…)
It’s the first demonstration of bacterial activities using an experimental strategy which avoided pressure, oxic, …, stresses during retrieval, incubation and sub-sampling.

Discussion…
Interface or brine sampling?
12 - BioDeep – WP5 – Marseilles, 13-15th April 2002
Bacteria adapted? But also bacteria originated of the seawater column
We pointed out life and activities with bacteria adapted
We need result. Is it possible to have safe samples in interface like within the body brine?We have seen the difficulties to compare results obtained at the interface.Maybe, it is more reasonnable to intensify sampling within the bodin brine…
Thanks for your attention…
