Figure 2. Depth distribution of total bacteria (solid circles) and dividing cells (open squares) to 70 mbsf at Site 1026. The dashed line represents a general regression line of bacterial numbers vs. depth in deep-sea sediments (Parkes et al., 1994). The bold vertical dashed line at log105.3 is the calculated detection limit. Horizontal bars on the total bacterial data points are 95% confidence limits.
