Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Brine Pool Microbes Enrich Metalliferous Sediments in Salt Giant Basins

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract We report the discovery of an extinct deep‐sea brine pool in the Red Sea's Hume Deep, providing evidence that rift‐shoulder pools are ephemeral on millennial timescales, and that the microbially‐enriched metalliferous deposits produced during the pool's active phase persist into the stratigraphic record.

Genomic characterisation of novel extremophile lineages from the thalassohaline lake Dziani Dzaha expands the metabolic repertoire of the PVC superphylum

Environmental Microbiome
Background Extreme environments are useful systems to investigate limits of life, microbial biogeography and ecology, and the adaptation and evolution of microbial lineages.

Prokaryotic Novelty and Metabolic Diversity in the Tagoro Shallow Hydrothermal System (Canary Islands, Spain)

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hydrothermal activity at the Tagoro submarine volcano shapes distinct epipelagic and benthic prokaryotic communities. Microbial diversity decreases towards vent sources, yet novel taxa dominate and potentially contribute to iron, nitrogen, sulphur and methane cycling in this shallow hydrothermal system with high unexplored microbial diversity ...

Exploration of Alkaliphilic Bacteria Alkalitalea saponilacus Identifies Glycoside Hydrolases With Biotechnological Potential

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
Soda lakes represent an excellent resource in the search for microbes adapted to alkaline and hypersaline conditions. In this study we demonstrate the ability of Alkalitalea saponilacus to degrade multiple carbon sources representing a promising bacterium for biotechnological applications where performance under alkaline or strongly ionic conditions is

Conodonts in Silurian hypersaline environments : specialized an dunexpectedly diverse

, 2017
Hypersaline environments are commonly assumed to be barren of metazoans and therefore are avoided by paleontologists, yet a number of early Paleozoic jawless vertebrate groups specialized to live in such settings.

Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

Uranium Isotope Evidence for Persistent Global Ocean Anoxia Across the Ediacaran–Cambrian Transition in Siberia

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The enigmatic Ediacara biota represents Earth's earliest example of macroscopic, complex life, yet the driving forces promoting their mid‐Ediacaran evolution and subsequent extinction across the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary remain speculative. If these were true animals requiring oxygen for aerobic respiration, their rise has often been linked ...

Characterization of selected isolates from hypersaline lakes in Western Australia and Victoria, Australia

, 2009
Compared to the amount of work on alkaline to neutral hypersaline environments, acidic hypersaline environments have been barely studied. Specifically, very little is known about the microbial populations present in the acid hypersaline environments of ...
