Iron mineral dissolution releases iron and associated organic carbon during permafrost thaw
Iron minerals trap carbon in permafrost, preventing microbial degradation and release to the atmosphere as CO2, but the stability of this carbon as permafrost thaws is unclear.

Microbial turnover times in the deep seabed studied by amino acid racemization modelling
The study of active microbial populations in deep, energy-limited marine sediments has extended our knowledge of the limits of life on Earth. Typically, microbial activity in the deep biosphere is calculated by transport-reaction modelling of pore water ...

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.

Arguments for a "U.S. Kamioka": SNOLab and its Implications for North American Underground Science Planning [PDF]
We argue for a cost-effective, long-term North American underground science strategy based on partnership with Canada and initial construction of a modest U.S. Stage I laboratory designed to complement SNOLab.

On the pathways feeding the H₂ production process in nutrient-replete, hypoxic conditions : commentary on the article 'Low oxygen levels contribute to improve photohydrogen production in mixotrophic non-stressed Chlamydomonas cultures', by Jurado-Oller et al., Biotechnology for Biofuels, published September 7, 2015; 8:149 [PDF]
Background: Under low O-2 concentration ( hypoxia) and low light, Chlamydomonas cells can produce H-2 gas in nutrient-replete conditions. This process is hindered by the presence of O-2, which inactivates the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzyme responsible for H-2

N2O formation by nitrite-induced (chemo)denitrification in coastal marine sediment
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that also contributes to stratospheric ozone depletion. Besides microbial denitrification, abiotic nitrite reduction by Fe(II) (chemodenitrification) has the potential to be an important source of N2O. Here,

Serpentinization reactions produce highly reduced waters that have hyperalkaline pH and that can have high concentrations of H2 and CH4. Putatively autotrophic methanogenic archaea have been identified in the subsurface waters of the Samail Ophiolite ...
