Ultra-microbes are the minerogenetic constructors of oceanic polymetallic nodules

摘要

Polymetallic nodules (mangnese nodules) are a typical kind of manganese oncolites. The distribution of smooth surface and knobbly manganese nodules is closely related to the geological background of the mine field. A systematic study on their inner laminae structure and features suggests that they are the products of millions of years reproduction and accumulation of the recently found Miniactinomyces chinensis and Spirisophaerospora pacified.
