At all of the vent sites, the microbes are the drivers for all primary productivity.

2
00:00:35.537 --> 00:00:36.614
They’re all the chemosynthetic organisms.

3
00:00:37.117 --> 00:00:42.471
Like, on land you have plants that are your primary producers, but at these vents, you have these chemosynthetic microbes.

4
00:00:43.309 --> 00:00:43.807
This is a suction sample.

5
00:00:46.646 --> 00:00:47.727
You have some good material.

6
00:00:48.283 --> 00:00:56.877
So I got these whopping pieces. But you don’t need a lot to look at volcanic microbial communities.

7
00:00:58.698 --> 00:00:59.778
So I make the most out of what I have.

8
00:01:00.614 --> 00:01:02.448
Stop thinking about vent stuff all the time, man.
