Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Biology - Micro- and Molecular Biology, grade: A, Indian Institute of Science (Indian Institute of Science), course: Research Project - Marine Microbiology, language: English, abstract: Ever since the days of Holger W. Jannasch, the great deep sea microbiologist, the culturing and isolation of barophiles have come to existence. But using high pressure chemostat facilities are hard and high priced. We discuss a simple lab make barophile enrichment apparatus to culture and study deep sea microbes. We also isolate deep sea microbes that corrodes iron from sunken ships.
