| raman microspectrometry as a powerful tool for a quick screening of thiotrophy: an application on mangrove swamp meiofauna of guadeloupe (f.w.i.). | the mangrove swamp environment constitutes a sulphide rich habitat harbouring some thioautotrophic organisms. the ciliate zoothamnium niveum and the nematode eubostrichus dianae, both known to live associated with bacterial sulphide-oxidizing ectosymbionts, were analysed as positive controls by raman microspectrometry. the detection of the 3 raman bands characteristic of elemental sulphur (s(8)) allows us to define a positive model of sulphide-oxidizing symbiotic invertebrates and by extrapolati ... | 2010 | 20202680 |
