The role of biofilms in subsurface transport processes [PDF]

, 2010
Landfill and radioactive waste disposal risk assessments focus on contaminant transport and are principally concerned with understanding the movement of gas, water and solutes through engineered barriers and natural groundwater systems.

A new Rhodococcus aetherivorans strain isolated from lubricant-contaminated soil as a prospective phenol biodegrading agent [PDF]

, 2020
Microbe-based decontamination of phenol-polluted environments has significant advantages over physical and chemical approaches by being relatively cheaper and ensuring complete phenol degradation.

From Plant to Paddy—How Rice Root Iron Plaque Can Affect the Paddy Field Iron Cycling

Soil Systems, 2020
Iron plaque on rice roots represents a sink and source of iron in paddy fields. However, the extent of iron plaque in impacting paddy field iron cycling is not yet fully deciphered.

Calcite moonmilk of microbial origin in the Etruscan Tomba degli Scudi in Tarquinia, Italy [PDF]

, 2018
A white deposit covering the walls in the Stanza degli Scudi of the Tomba degli Scudi, Tarquinia, Italy, has been investigated. In this chamber, which is still preserved from any kind of intervention such as cleaning and sanitization, ancient Etruscans ...

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 ...

Microbiological influences on fracture surfaces of intact mudstone and the implications for geological disposal of radioactive waste [PDF]

, 2011
The significance of the potential impacts of microbial activity on the transport properties of host rocks for geological repositories is an area of active research. Most recent work has focused on granitic environments. This paper describes pilot studies

CANT-HYD: A Curated Database of Phylogeny-Derived Hidden Markov Models for Annotation of Marker Genes Involved in Hydrocarbon Degradation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Many pathways for hydrocarbon degradation have been discovered, yet there are no dedicated tools to identify and predict the hydrocarbon degradation potential of microbial genomes and metagenomes.

Mg/Ca ratios in freshwater microbial carbonates: Thermodynamic, kinetic and vital effects [PDF]

, 2014
The ratio of magnesium to calcium (Mg/Ca) in carbonate minerals in an abiotic setting is conventionally assumed to be predominantly controlled by (Mg/Ca)solution and a temperature dependant partition coefficient. This temperature dependence suggests that

Geomicrobiology and Microbial Geochemistry [PDF]

, 2015
Geomicrobiology and microbial geochemistry (GMG) investigates the interaction between Earth, environmental systems, and microbial life. Microbes shape their geochemical surroundings through their metabolic and growth needs and thereby exert significant ...
