Lipid Hydrogen Stable Isotope Probing Reveals Decadal-Scale Generation Times for Archaea in Hot Spring Sediments

Carolynn M. Harris, Sebastian Kopf, Maximiliano J. Amenábar…·William D. Leavitt

This study uses lipid hydrogen stable isotope probing to estimate archaeal generation times in hot spring sediments, finding decadal-scale rates in Yellowstone and slower rates in El Tatio.
