attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	Crystallization experiment In order to simulate the high-pressure conditions at the seafloor, three laboratory experiments involving aragonite precipitation were conducted.\u00a0 Two experiments were conducted using a high-pressure apparatus (Figure 1). The control experiment was performed at atmospheric pressure and 8\u00b0C in a container immersed in a constant temperature bath. The experimental fluid (growth medium) was prepared by mixing artificial seawater (ASW) and small aliquots of Na2CO3. The addition of Na2CO3 allowed the saturation state of the fluid with respect to aragonite to be increased, in order to promote nucleation and crystallization on carbonate minerals. Artificial seawater was prepared by dissolving 32 g of Instant Ocean salt (Instant Ocean Spectrum Brands) mix in 1 kg of distilled water and filtering it through a 0.2 \u00b5m Nalgene filter. A small amount of 0.1M Na2CO3 was then introduced into the continuously stirred artificial seawater using a syringe pump set at a rate of ~1 ml/min, to reach a final volume ratio of Na2CO3 to artificial seawater of ~1:13. During the addition of Na2CO3, the solution was in contact with the atmosphere. This procedure homogenized the fluid and also precluded aragonite nucleation prior to the beginning of the experiment. The absence of crystal nucleation was confirmed visually by monitoring the solution pH, which remained stable for the 1-2 hours needed for the experiment setup. The observation that aragonite crystallization did not start prior to the beginning of the experiment is consistent with previously published data, which show that 6 hours elapsed before onset of crystallization in the solution similar to the one we used (7.4 mmol of Na2CO3 :1 liter of seawater) (Pytkowicz, 1965). Petrographic glass slides frosted with silicon carbide (SiC) abrasive paper were used to promote aragonite crystallization along scratches. For each experiment, one slide was placed into the high-pressure vessel prior to the transfer of the experimental fluid. The experimental fluid was then placed into the vessel after it was precooled to 8\u00b0C. After that, the air space above the solution (<200 cm3) was purged with nitrogen three times before the pressure was increased to a desired value (110 or 345 bars). The experimental fluid was sampled daily using a valve on the pressure vessel (Figure 1) and pH was measured to estimate time of nucleation and crystallization of CaCO3. For pH measurements, electrode calibration and measurements were conducted at temperatures similar to those of the experiment. NBS buffer solutions with pH of 4, 7, and 10 were used for electrode calibration. The pH initially decreased due to carbonate precipitation and reached near-constant values less than 170 hrs from the beginning of the experiments, suggesting that most of the CaCO3 precipitated in the first few days of each experiment. At the end of each run, the experimental products were extracted from the pressure vessel. Crystals (<10 \u00b5m in size) were rinsed with distilled water and dried, whereas the experimental fluid was filtered and refrigerated for subsequent elemental analyses. The alkalinity of the final fluid was measured the day after the end of each experiment. Experimental parameters are presented in Table -1.

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	projects_0_description	String	Biologically-mediated CaCO3 precipitation widely occurs in aquatic systems and is often directly linked to the metabolic activity of microorganisms, which could significantly affect the local environment. An example is oxidation of methane and reduction of sulfate mediated by a consortium of Bacteria and Archaea. In order to investigate geochemistry of CaCO3precipitated abiotically and under microbial activity experimental work was initiated.  The abiotic experiments were performed at different temperatures and pressures (nitrogen and nitrogen-methane mixture).  Further geochemical analyses will allow evaluating of the effect of total pressure and methane partial pressure on the geochemistry of CaCO3. Sulfate reducing bacterial (Desulfovibrio salexigens) was successfully cultured and precipitation experiments on microbially mediated CaCO3 are in progress. This work is relevant to C-DEBI Research Theme I (Activity in the Deep Subseafloor Biosphere: function & rates of global biogeochemical processes) because carbonate growth rate is linked to microbial activity and the rate of methane oxidation.
