Exploring the Deep Marine Biosphere: Challenges, Innovations, and Opportunities

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
The deep marine biosphere is one of the largest, and yet least explored, microbial habitats on the planet. Quantifying the extent, diversity, and activity of subsurface microbial communities is a crucial part of understanding their role in global ...

Advancing subsurface biosphere and paleoclimate research: ECORD–ICDP–DCO–J-DESC–MagellanPlus Workshop Series Program Report [PDF]

Scientific Drilling, 2015
The proper pre-drilling preparation, on-site acquisition and post-drilling preservation of high-quality subsurface samples are crucial to ensure significant progress in the scientifically and societally important areas of subsurface biosphere and ...

High frequency of phylogenetically diverse reductive dehalogenase-homologous genes in deep subseafloor sedimentary metagenomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Marine subsurface sediments on the Pacific margin harbor diverse microbial communities even at depths of several hundreds meters below the seafloor (mbsf) or more.

Using Cathodic Poised Potential Experiments to Investigate Extracellular Electron Transport in the Crustal Deep Biosphere of North Pond, Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
The crustal sub-seafloor covers a large portion of the Earth’s surface but is poorly understood as a habitat for life. It is unclear what metabolisms support the microscopic cells that have been observed, and how they survive under resource limitation ...

Ancient and Modern Geochemical Signatures in the 13,500-Year Sedimentary Record of Lake Cadagno

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Although lake sediments are globally important organic carbon sinks and therefore important habitats for deep microbial life, the deep lacustrine biosphere has thus far been little studied compared to its marine counterpart.

Sulphur and Carbon Isotopes as Tracers of Past Sub-seafloor Microbial Activity [PDF]

, 2019
Microbial life below the seafloor has changed over geological time, but these changes are often not obvious, as they are not recorded in the sediment.

Genomes of three bacteriophages from the deep subsurface aquifer

Data in Brief, 2019
Viral particles have been detected in the underground biosphere where they could be one of the main factors impacting microbial diversity, biogeochemistry and evolution.

Accessing the energy-limited and sparsely populated deep biosphere: achievements and ongoing challenges of available technologies

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023
Microbes in marine sediments detected and counted by direct observation of membrane-filtered sediment samples stained with acridine orange. This technique can still be applied to high-biomass (> 105 cells/cm3) sedimentary habitats, such as organic-rich ...
