    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Combined hydrochemical, geochemical and isotopic investigations of solid and dissolved sulphur- and carbon-species from different aquifer levels allow to distinguish two geochemical cycles: The first one is represented by the sedimentary pyrites which have been formed during the Tertiary by bacterial sulplate reduction. These pyrites are characterized by strongly depleted δ 14 S-signatures. In accordance with a recent origin, the groundwater composition reflects the current sulphur- and carbon-cycling representing the second one. The activity of sulphate reducing bacterian can be deduced from a decrease of the sulphate concentration with depth and a simultaneous increase in δ 14 S- and δ 18 O-values as well as increasing hydrogen sulphide concentrations. Dissolved organic carbon, the substrate and electron-donor for the bacterial sulphate reduction, appears to be the limiting factor as its average concentration reaches only 1.6 mg/l. The concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon is slightly higher in the deeper groundwater levels. Due to its clearly negative carbon-isotope signature it can be identified as a product of biogenic oxidation of organic material.
    Notes: Kurzfassung Durch den kombinierten Einsatz von isotopengeochemischen und hydrochemischen Untersuchungsmethoden an Sedimenten und Grundwässern der Niederrheinischen Bucht können die in den Aquiferen vorhandenen festen und gelösten Schwefel- und Kohlenstoff-Verbindungen zwei zeitlich getrennten Stoffkreisläufen zugeordnet werden. Während die sedimentären Pyrite, die dominierende Schwefelverbindung innerhalb der marinen Sande, durchschnittlich stark an 34 S verarmt sind und bereits im Tertiär gebildet wurden, läßt sich aus den gelösten Wasserinhaltsstoffen der jungen Grundwässer auf den rezenten Schwefel- und Kohlenstoff-Kreislauf schließen. In den unteren anaeroben Grundwasserstockwerken der durch Braunkohleeinschaltungen gegliederten Sande kann die Aktivität sulfatreduzierter Bakterien durch die Abnahme der Sulfatkonzentration bei gleichzeitigem Anstieg der zugehörigen δ 14 S- und δ 18 O-Werte im Sinne einer Rayleigh-Fraktionierung sowie durch erhöhte Schwefelwasserstoffkonzentration belegt werden. Gelöster organischer Kohlenstoff, der als Elektronendonator für die bakterielle Sulfatreduktion dient, ist mit durchschnittlich 1,6 mg/l vermutlich der limitierende Faktor dieses Prozesses. Gelöster anorganischer Kohlenstoff tritt in den tieferen Grundwasserstockwerken in leicht erhöhten Konzentrationen auf und kann aufgrund seiner deutlich negativ Kohlenstoff-Isotopensignatur als Produkt der Oxidation organischer Substanz identifiziert werden.

    Description: Vestimentiferan tubeworms (siboglinid polychaetes) of the genus Lamellibrachia are common members of cold-seep faunal communities and have also been found at sedimented hydrothermal vent sites in the Pacific. As they lack a digestive system, they are nourished by chemoautotrophic bacterial endosymbionts growing in a specialized tissue called the trophosome. Here we present the results of investigations of tubeworms and endosymbionts from a shallow hydrothermal vent field in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The tubeworms, which are the first reported vent-associated tubeworms outside the Pacific, are identified as Lamellibrachia anaximandri using mitochondrial ribosomal and cytochrome oxidase I gene sequences. They harbor a single gammaproteobacterial endosymbiont. Carbon isotopic data, as well as the analysis of genes involved in carbon and sulfur metabolism indicate a sulfide-oxidizing chemoautotrophic endosymbiont. The detection of a hydrogenase gene fragment suggests the potential for hydrogen oxidation as alternative energy source. Surprisingly, the endosymbiont harbors genes for two different carbon fixation pathways, the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle as well as the reductive tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle, as has been reported for the endosymbiont of the giant vent tubeworm Riftia pachyptila. In addition to RubisCO genes we detected ATP citrate lyase (ACL, the key enzyme of the rTCA cycle) type II gene sequences using newly designed primer sets. Comparative investigations with additional tubeworm species (Lamellibrachia luymesi, Lamellibrachia sp. 1, Lamellibrachia sp. 2, Escarpia laminata, Seepiophila jonesi) from multiple cold seep sites in the Gulf of Mexico revealed the presence of acl genes in these species as well. Thus, our study suggests that the presence of two different carbon fixation pathways, the CBB cycle and the rTCA cycle, is not restricted to the Riftia endosymbiont, but rather might be common in vestimentiferan tubeworm endosymbionts.

    Description: Highlights • The genetic model for Algoma-type BIF is modified taking into account S-MIF results. • Metal and sulfur sources are decoupled and reflect diverse microbial metabolisms. • Sulfur deposited with oxide-facies BIF is mostly atmospheric in origin. • Little juvenile sulfur is found, despite the proximity to volcanic sources. Abstract Neoarchean Algoma-type banded iron formations (BIFs) are widely viewed as direct chemical precipitates from proximal volcanic–hydrothermal vents. However, a systematic multiple sulfur isotope study of oxide-facies BIF from a type locality in the ca. 2.74 Ga Temagami greenstone belt reveals mainly bacterial turnover of atmospheric elemental sulfur in the host basin rather than deposition of hydrothermally cycled seawater sulfate or sulfur from direct volcanic input. Trace amounts of chromium reducible sulfur that were extracted for quadruple sulfur isotope (32S–33S–34S–36S) analysis record the previously known mass-independent fractionation of volcanic SO2 in the Archean atmosphere (S-MIF) and biological sulfur cycling but only minor contributions from juvenile sulfur, despite the proximity of volcanic sources. We show that the dominant bacterial metabolisms were iron reduction and sulfur disproportionation, and not sulfate reduction, consistent with limited availability of organic matter and the abundant ferric iron deposited as Fe(OH)3. That sulfur contained in the BIF was not a direct volcanic–hydrothermal input, as expected, changes the view of an important archive of the Neoarchean sulfur cycle in which the available sulfur pools were strongly decoupled and only species produced photochemically under anoxic atmospheric conditions were deposited in the BIF-forming environment.

    Description: Elemental sulfur is commonly regarded as the product of oxidative sulfur cycling in the sediment. However, reports on the occurrence of elemental sulfur in seepage areas are few and thus its origin and mechanisms controlling its distribution are insufficiently understood. Here, we analyzed the multiple sulfur isotopic compositions for elemental sulfur and pyrite from an iron-dominated gas hydrate-bearing sedimentary environment of the South China Sea to unravel the impact of sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SO4-AOM) on the formation of elemental sulfur. The multiple sulfur isotopes reveal variable ranges for both elemental sulfur and pyrite (δ34S: between −15.7 and +23.3‰ for elemental sulfur and between −35.3 and +34.4‰ for pyrite; Δ33S: between −0.08 and +0.06‰ for elemental sulfur and between −0.03 and +0.15‰ for pyrite). The enrichment of 34S in pyrite throughout the sediment core suggests pronounced SO4-AOM in paleo-sulfate-methane transition zones (SMTZ). In addition, the occurrence of seep carbonates with very negative δ13C values (as low as −57‰, V-PDB) coincides with the inferred paleo-SMTZs and agrees with formerly locally pronounced SO4-AOM. Interestingly, the multiple sulfur isotopic composition of elemental sulfur reveals a different pattern from that of pyrite derived from organoclastic sulfate reduction (i.e., with low δ34S and high Δ33S values for the latter). In comparison to coexisting pyrite, most of the elemental sulfur reveals higher δ34S values (as much as +28.9‰), which is best explained by an enrichment of 34S in the residual pool of dissolved sulfide generated by SO4-AOM. As an intermediate sulfur phase, elemental sulfur can form via sulfide oxidation coupled to iron reduction, but it can only persist in the absence of free sulfide. Therefore, the occurrence of 34S enriched elemental sulfur is likely to represent an oxidative product after hydrogen sulfide had vanished due to vertical displacement of the SMTZ. Our observations suggest that elemental sulfur may serve as a useful recorder for reconstructing the dynamics of sulfur cycling in modern and possibly ancient seepage areas.
