During the French-Mexican cruise 'Guaynaut', carried out in November 1991 in the southern depression of the Guaymas Basin (gulf of California), an actively spreading oceanic basin, various samples were collected by means of the submersible 'Nautile'. The on-line coupling of purge and trap to capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (P/T-GC-MS) has been applied to the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in water, sediments and hydrothermal deposit samples in order to contribute to the characterization of the bacterial microflora activity which is developed on this particular hydrothermal site. The results obtained for alkanes, monoaromatic hydrocarbons and organosulfur compounds lead to successful interpretation in terms of bacterial activity. |
