Abstract: This Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal article (PDF) reports the discovery of group II introns in a bacterial mat sample collected from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent near 9Ãâ¡ËN on the East Pacific Rise. One of the introns was shown to self-splice in vitro. This is the first example of marine bacterial introns from molecular population structure studies of microorganisms that live in the proximity of hydrothermal vents.
