The deep continental subsurface: the dark biosphere [PDF]
International Microbiology, 2018 Although information from devoted geomicrobiological drilling studies is limited, it is clear that the results obtained so far call for a systematic exploration of the deep continental subsurface, similar to what has been accomplished in recent years by the Ocean Drilling Initiatives.

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 ...

Viable cyanobacteria in the deep continental subsurface [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Cyanobacteria are ecologically versatile microorganisms inhabiting most environments, ranging from marine systems to arid deserts. Although they possess several pathways for light-independent energy generation, until now their ecological range appeared to be restricted to environments with at least occasional exposure to sunlight.

Life in the deep subsurface [PDF]
Geology, 2011 able in the subsurface (Wolfe-Simon et al., 2010). This suggests that life may not be as elementally limited as postulated, and that a biosphere of arsenic-utilizing life may exist in the subsurface on Earth, other planets, moons, or asteroids. Despite these results, which question and extend our fundamental understanding of life, its constituents ...

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 ...

Molecular analysis of deep-subsurface bacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 Bacterial isolates from deep-sediment samples from three sites at the Savannah River site, near Aiken, S.C., were studied to determine their microbial community composition and DNA structure by using total DNA hybridization and moles percent G + C.
