Metabolic and population profiles of active subseafloor autotrophs in young oceanic crust at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]
At deep-sea hydrothermal vents, magmatically driven rock-water reactions in the crust generate gases and other reduced compounds that subseafloor microorganisms use for chemolithoautotrophy.

Microbial communities in dark oligotrophic volcanic ice cave ecosystems of Mt. Erebus, Antarctica. [PDF]
The Earth's crust hosts a subsurface, dark, and oligotrophic biosphere that is poorly understood in terms of the energy supporting its biomass production and impact on food webs at the Earth's surface.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), the key CO2-fixing enzyme in photosynthesis, is notorious for its low carboxylation. We report a highly active and assembly-competent Form II Rubisco from the endosymbiont of a deep-sea tubeworm ...

Thiocyanate (N=C−S−) is a moderately toxic, inorganic sulfur compound. It occurs naturally as a by-product of the degradation of glucosinolate-containing plants and is produced industrially in a number of mining processes. Currently, two pathways for the

Advances in bioleaching as a sustainable method for metal recovery from e-waste:A review [PDF]
Electronic waste (e-waste) accumulation on earth is a serious environmental challenge. The need for heavy metal recovery, together with the profitability of precious and base metals, are strong incentives for researchers to find a sustainable method for ...

Energetic and Environmental Constraints on the Community Structure of Benthic Microbial Mats in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica. [PDF]
Ecological communities are regulated by the flow of energy through environments. Energy flow is typically limited by access to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and oxygen concentration (O2).

PROSPECTS FOR LIFE IN THE SUBGLACIAL LAKE VOSTOK, EAST ANTARCTICA
The objective was to estimate the genuine microbial content of ice samples from refrozen water (accretion ice) from the subglacialLakeVostok(Antarctica) buried beneath the 4-km thick East Antarctic ice sheet as well as surface snow nearby Vostok station.

Novel insights into the Thaumarchaeota in the deepest oceans: their metabolism and potential adaptation mechanisms [PDF]
Background: Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota, which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive in the aphotic deep sea with massive populations.
