These hyperalkaline environments are depleted in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), making the carbon sources and assimilation pathways in the associated ecosystems highly enigmatic. The Prony Bay Hydrothermal Field (PHF) is an active serpentinization site where, similar to Lost City (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), high-pH fluids rich in H 2 and CH 4 are discharged from carbonate chimneys at the seafloor, but in a shallower lagoonal environment. This study aimed to characterize the subsurface microbial ecology of this environment by focusing on the earliest stages of chimney construction, dominated by the discharge of hydrothermal fluids of subseafloor origin. By jointly examining the mineralogy and the microbial diversity of the conduits of juvenile edifices at the micrometric scale, we find a central role of uncultivated bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes in the ecology of the PHF. These bacteria, along with members of the phyla Acetothermia and Omnitrophica, are identified as the first chimneys inhabitants before archaeal Methanosarcinales. They are involved in the construction and early consolidation of the carbonate structures via organomineralization processes. %G English %2 https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-01484419/document %2 https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-01484419/file/fmicb-08-00057.pdf %L hal-01484419 %U https://hal.sorbonne-universite.fr/hal-01484419 %~ IRD %~ SDE %~ INSU %~ METEO %~ MNHN %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ UPMC %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ AFRIQ %~ UNIV-TLN %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ UNIV-NC %~ IPGP %~ CNES %~ IMPMC %~ ALLINSP %~ OMP %~ OMP-LMTG %~ OMP-GET %~ MIO %~ OSU-INSTITUT-PYTHEAS %~ GIP-BE %~ MAPIEM %~ AGROPOLIS %~ USPC %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UNC %~ MIO-MEB %~ SU-TI %~ ANR %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ PUNC-UNC %~ LARJE-PUNC-UNC %~ LA-NI-PUNC-UNC %~ CRESICA-PUNC-UNC %~ LIRE-PUNC-UNC %~ RESONANCES-PUNC-UNC %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP
