Sulphate reduction rates of Håkon Mosby mud volcano sediments measured at station MSM16/2_823-1 (Sample 9, old flow surface)

Turnover rates were determined for surface sediment cores obtained in 2009 and 2010. Sulfate reduction (SR) were measured ex situ by the whole core injection method (doi:10.1080/01490457809377722). We incubated the samples at in situ temperature (1.0°C) for 12 hours with carrier-free 35**SO4 (dissolved in water, 50 kBq). Sediment was fixed in 20 ml 20% ZnAc solution for AOM or SR, respectively. Turnover rates were measured as previously described (doi:10.4319/lom.2004.2.171).
