  abstract = {{T}he shallow submarine hydrothermal field of the {P}rony {B}ay ({N}ew {C}aledonia) discharges hydrogen- and methane-rich fluids with low salinity, temperature (< 40°{C}) and high p{H} (11) produced by the serpentinization reactions of the ultramafic basement into the lagoon seawater. {T}hey are responsible for the formation of carbonate chimneys at the lagoon seafloor. {C}apillary electrophoresis single-strand conformation polymorphism fingerprinting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and sequence analysis of 16{S} r{RNA} genes revealed changes in microbial community structure, abundance and diversity depending on the location, water depth, and structure of the carbonate chimneys. {T}he low archaeal diversity was dominated by few uncultured {M}ethanosarcinales similar to those found in other serpentinization-driven submarine and subterrestrial ecosystems (e.g. {L}ost {C}ity, {T}he {C}edars). {T}he most abundant and diverse bacterial communities were mainly composed of {C}hloroflexi, {D}einococcus-{T}hermus, {F}irmicutes and {P}roteobacteria. {F}unctional gene analysis revealed similar abundance and diversity of both {M}ethanosarcinales methanoarchaea, and {D}esulfovibrionales and {D}esulfobacterales sulfate-reducers in the studied sites. {M}olecular studies suggest that redox reactions involving hydrogen, methane and sulfur compounds (e.g. sulfate) are the energy driving forces of the microbial communities inhabiting the {P}rony hydrothermal system.},
