Laboratory Activity to Effectively Teach Introductory Geomicrobiology Concepts to Non-Geology Majors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2013
We have designed a three-week experiment that can complement any microbiology course, to teach main geomicrobiology concepts for non-geology majors.

Palaeomagnetic and geochronologic results from lower cretaceous volcanics of the western Qiangtang terrane and implications for the Lhasa-Qiangtang collision [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The Lhasa-Qiangtang collision is key to understanding the formation and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau; however, the precise timing of this event remains hotly debated.

Two worlds beneath: Distinct microbial strategies of the rock-attached and planktonic subsurface biosphere [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background Microorganisms in groundwater ecosystems exist either as planktonic cells or as attached communities on aquifer rock surfaces. Attached cells outnumber planktonic ones by at least three orders of magnitude, suggesting a critical role in ...

Microbial metabolism amplified warming in three Phanerozoic hyperthermal events [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
The ocean’s biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a crucial role in climate regulation by facilitating long-term removal of atmospheric CO2. However, BCP changes during past hyperthermals remain poorly understood.

The geomicrobiology of limestone, sulfuric acid speleogenetic, and volcanic caves: basic concepts and future perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Caves are ubiquitous subterranean voids, accounting for a still largely unexplored surface of the Earth underground. Due to the absence of sunlight and physical segregation, caves are naturally colonized by microorganisms that have developed distinctive ...

Enrichment of rare methanogenic Archaea shows their important ecological role in natural high-CO2 terrestrial subsurface environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionLong-term stability of underground CO2 storage is partially affected by microbial activity but our knowledge of these effects is limited, mainly due to a lack of sites. A consistently high flux of mantle-derived CO2 makes the Eger Rift in the

Spatial and Temporal Constraints on the Composition of Microbial Communities in Subsurface Boreholes of the Edgar Experimental Mine

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
The deep biosphere hosts uniquely adapted microorganisms overcoming geochemical extremes at significant depths within the crust of the Earth. Attention is required to understand the near subsurface and its continuity with surface systems, where numerous ...

Geomicrobiology [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia, 2008
The ever increasing demand for oil, coupled with the reduction in reserves, is increasing emphasis on finding new oil deposits and recovering more oil from known reserves since half to two thirds of all of the oil discovered to date is still in the ground and not recoverable by present technology.
