Goethite Reduction by a Neutrophilic Member of the Alphaproteobacterial Genus Telmatospirillum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
In tropical iron ore regions, biologically mediated reduction of crystalline iron oxides drives ongoing iron cycling that contributes to the stability of surface duricrusts.

Paleosecular Variation Constraints on Geomagnetic Field Morphology at ca. 1100 Ma

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Paleosecular variation provides a statistical test of long‐term geomagnetic field morphology, but its behavior across Precambrian polarity regimes remains poorly constrained. We compile a virtual geomagnetic pole dispersion data set spanning 1130–1070 Ma and apply nonlinear Model G fitting to evaluate field structure across the interval ...

Microbial Populations of Stony Meteorites: Substrate Controls on First Colonizers

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Finding fresh, sterilized rocks provides ecologists with a clean slate to test ideas about first colonization and the evolution of soils de novo. Lava has been used previously in first colonizer studies due to the sterilizing heat required for its ...

Environmental Selection and Biogeography Shape the Microbiome of Subsurface Petroleum Reservoirs

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
Petroleum reservoirs within the deep biosphere are extreme environments inhabited by diverse microbial communities and represent biogeochemical hot spots in the subsurface.

Engineered Metal–Organic Frameworks‐Based Materials for Environmental Detection

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Engineered metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) regulated by various material modification strategies are discussed for environmental contaminant detection under different sensing mechanisms, providing future improvements of MOFs in environmental detection. Sensitive and selective detection of contaminants is crucial for environmental protection.

Geomicrobiology beyond Earth: microbe–mineral interactions in space exploration and settlement

open access: yes, 2010
Geomicrobiology investigates the interactions of microorganisms with geological substrates, and this branch of microbiology has enormous potential in the exploration and settlement of space.

Deriving continuous deglaciation chronology from infrequent historical outlines

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present a software tool (R script) that interpolates continuous surfaces of time since deglaciation from historical glacier outlines. At user‐specified points, the results can be used to reconstruct the deglaciation history (distance to glacier surface), including glacier readvances.

Different Ferromanganese Concretion Morphologies Host Distinct Microbial Communities and Metal Accumulation Patterns in the Baltic Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated how microbes influence the metal accumulation and release in Fe‐Mn concretions from the Gulf of Finland using microcosm incubation experiments. We studied three main concretion morphotypes: crust, discoidal, and spheroidal. Microbes enhanced metal accumulation in discoidal and spheroidal morphotypes.

The First Description of the Microbial Diversity in the Amarillo River (La Rioja, Argentina), a Natural Extreme Environment Where the Whole Microbial Community Paints the Landscape Yellow

open access: yesMicroorganisms
The Amarillo River in Famatina, La Rioja, Argentina, is a natural acidic river with distinctive yellow-ochreous iron precipitates along its course.
