Caption

Fluorescence micrograph of deep subseafloor microbial cells detected at Site C0023. The cells were stained with a green fluorescent dye SYBR Green I. Left: Microbial cells separated from a sediment core sample (43R-3) at the depth of 652.0 m at 76 °C. Right: A microbial cell detected from a sediment core sample (112R-2) at the depth of 1176.8 m at 120°C (one cell in the center of the picture). Scale indicates 20 micrometers (1/50 of a millimeter).
