Living at the Limits: Evidence for Microbial Eukaryotes Thriving under Pressure in Deep Anoxic, Hypersaline Habitats

<table>Microbial sampler-submersible incubation device (MS-SID), designed and manufactured by C. Taylor and V. Edgcomb, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, together with McLane Research Laboratories, Falmouth, MA, USA, in action during cruise to the Eastern Mediterranean DHABs with RV<i> Atlantis</i> (WHOI). MS-SID allows both fixation of samples at depth and incubation experiments at depth and has started to provide insights into the life thriving in DHABs.</table>
