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

Journal 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]

Scientific 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.

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

Microbiology 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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

Marine Deep Biosphere Microbial Communities Assemble in Near-Surface Sediments in Aarhus Bay

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Analyses of microbial diversity in marine sediments have identified a core set of taxa unique to the marine deep biosphere. Previous studies have suggested that these specialized communities are shaped by processes in the surface seabed, in particular ...

Disguised as a Sulfate Reducer: Growth of the Deltaproteobacterium Desulfurivibrio alkaliphilus by Sulfide Oxidation with Nitrate

mBio, 2017
This study demonstrates that the deltaproteobacterium Desulfurivibrio alkaliphilus can grow chemolithotrophically by coupling sulfide oxidation to the dissimilatory reduction of nitrate and nitrite to ammonium.

Clay‐associated microbial communities and their relevance for a nuclear waste repository in the Opalinus Clay rock formation

MicrobiologyOpen, 2023
Microorganisms are known to be natural agents of biocorrosion and mineral transformation, thereby potentially affecting the safety of deep geological repositories used for high‐level nuclear waste storage.
