p.12 bottom paragraph:"Modern anaerobic autotrophs thrive upon H2, which is continuously generated in serpentinizing
geological settings at activities of the order of 10 mmol/kg or more [primary source] via disequilibria driven by rock–water interactions in hydrothermal systems [refs 19,20]. At such H2 activities, and under strictly anaerobic conditions, the synthesis of cell mass from CO2 is thermodynamically favorable [ref 21]." |
