Marine Group II Archaea, potentially important players in the global ocean carbon cycle

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Marine Group (MG) I (currently known as Thaumarchaeota) and MG II Archaea were first reported over two decades ago. While significant progress has been made on MG I microbiology and ecology, the progress on MG II has been noticeably slower.

Mycobacteria isolated from Angkor monument sandstone grow chemolithoautotrophically by oxidizing elemental sulfur

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
To characterize sulfate-producing microorganisms from the deteriorated sandstones of Angkor monuments in Cambodia, strains of Mycobacterium spp. were isolated from most-probable-number-positive cultures.

Hydrogenase gene distribution and H2 consumption ability within the Thiomicrospira lineage

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Thiomicrospira were originally characterized as sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophs. Attempts to grow them on hydrogen failed for many years. Only recently we demonstrated hydrogen consumption among two of three tested Thiomicrospira and posited that ...

High-pressure continuous culturing: life at the extreme

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Microorganisms adapted to high hydrostatic pressures at depth in the oceans and within the subsurface of Earth’s crust represent a phylogenetically diverse community thriving under extreme pressure, temperature, and nutrient availability conditions.

Serpentinization as the source of energy, electrons, organics, catalysts, nutrients and pH gradients for the origin of LUCA and life

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Serpentinization in hydrothermal vents is central to some autotrophic theories for the origin of life because it generates compartments, reductants, catalysts and gradients.

Comparative genomics of the proteostasis network in extreme acidophiles.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Extreme acidophiles thrive in harsh environments characterized by acidic pH, high concentrations of dissolved metals and high osmolarity. Most of these microorganisms are chemolithoautotrophs that obtain energy from low redox potential sources, such as ...

The influence of ultramafic rocks on microbial communities at the Logatchev Hydrothermal field, located 15°N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge [PDF]

, 2007
The ultramafic-hosted Logatchev hydrothermal field (LHF) on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is characterized by high hydrogen and methane contents in the subseafloor, which support a specialized microbial community of phylogenetically diverse, hydrogen-oxidizing ...

Microbial Communities of Ferromanganese Sedimentary Layers and Nodules of Lake Baikal (Bolshoy Ushkany Island)

Diversity, 2022
Ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) sedimentary layers and nodules occur at different depths within sediments at deep basins and ridges of Lake Baikal. We studied Fe-Mn nodules and host sediments recovered at the slope of Bolshoy Ushkany Island.

Snowmelt induced hydrologic perturbations drive dynamic microbiological and geochemical behaviors across a shallow riparian aquifer

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2016
Shallow riparian aquifers represent hotspots of biogeochemical activity in the arid western US. While these environments provide extensive ecosystem services, little is known of how natural environmental perturbations influence subsurface microbial ...
