Hard rock dark biosphere and habitability

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The discovery that most of the prokaryotic diversity and biomass on Earth resides in the deep subsurface, calls for an improved definition of habitability, which should consider the existence of dark biospheres in other planets and moons of the Solar ...

Advances in Defining Ecosystem Functions of the Terrestrial Subsurface Biosphere

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The subsurface is one of the last remaining ‘uncharted territories’ of Earth and is now accepted as a biosphere in its own right, at least as critical to Earth systems as the surface biosphere.

290 metagenome-assembled genomes from the Mediterranean Sea: a resource for marine microbiology [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The Tara Oceans Expedition has provided large, publicly-accessible microbial metagenomic datasets from a circumnavigation of the globe. Utilizing several size fractions from the samples originating in the Mediterranean Sea, we have used current assembly ...

Dark Fermentation in the Dark Biosphere: The Case of Citrobacter sp. T1.2D-1²

Fermentation, 2023
Microbial diversity that thrives in the deep subsurface remains largely unknown. In this work, we present the characterization of Citrobacter sp. T1.2D-1, isolated from a 63.6 m-deep core sample extracted from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite ...

Evidence for metabolic diversity in Meso-Neoproterozoic stromatolites (Vazante Group, Brazil)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Deciphering the evolution of ecological interactions among the metabolic types during the early diversification of life on Earth is crucial for our understanding of the ancient biosphere.

Composition and Ecological Roles of the Core Microbiome along the Abyssal-Hadal Transition Zone Sediments of the Mariana Trench

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The unique geological features of hadal trenches are known to influence both the structure and ecological function of microbial communities. It is also well known that heterotrophs and chemoautotrophs dominate the hadal and abyssal pelagic zones ...

Changes in Microbial Energy Metabolism Measured by Nanocalorimetry during Growth Phase Transitions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Calorimetric measurements of the change in heat due to microbial metabolic activity convey information about the kinetics, as well as the thermodynamics, of all chemical reactions taking place in a cell.
