Exploring Microbiological Dynamics in a Salt Cavern for Potential Hydrogen Storage Use
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2025.Hydrogen storage in subsurface salt caverns is vital for the energy transition. These caverns are not sterile, as they contain a diverse microbial world. Our research found Bacteria and Archaea thriving on hydrogen and other nutrients in this extreme environment.

Microbial Fuel Cells Applied to the Metabolically-Based Detection of Extraterrestrial Life [PDF]
, 2010 Since the 1970's, when the Viking spacecrafts carried out experiments aimed to the detection of microbial metabolism on the surface of Mars, the search for nonspecific methods to detect life in situ has been one of the goals of astrobiology. It is usually required that the methodology can detect life independently from its composition or form, and that

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.Rainfall after drought induces enormous dynamics in microbial growth (potential soil carbon storage) and respiration (determining carbon loss), affecting the ecosystem carbon budget. We investigated how legacies of drought and warming affected microbial functional and structural responses after drought, using soils from tropical cropland and forest ...

Detection of Endolithes Using Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 On Earth, the Dry Valleys of Antarctica provide the closest martian-like environment for the study of extremophiles. Colonies of bacteries are protected from the freezing temperatures, the drought and UV light. They represent almost half of the biomass of those regions. Due to there resilience, endolithes are one possible model of martian biota.

Selective screening: isolation of fungal strains from contaminated soils in Austria
Die Bodenkultur, 2018 Microorganisms are potent contributors to maintaining a safe environment as they are able to degrade organic toxicants. For environmental applications, mostly bacteria are used while fungal strains have received less attention.
