Biotechnological aspects of sulfate reduction with methane as electron donor [PDF]
, 2010 Biological sulfate reduction can be used for the removal and recovery of oxidized sulfur compounds and metals from waste streams. However, the costs of conventional electron donors, like hydrogen and ethanol, limit the application possibilities.

Tracking Microbial Evolution in the Subseafloor Biosphere
mSystems, 2021 The deep marine subsurface constitutes a massive biosphere that hosts a multitude of archaea, bacteria, and viruses across a diversity of habitats. These microbes play key roles in mediating global biogeochemical cycles, and the marine subsurface is ...

Short-term variability in the sedimentary BIT index of Lake Challa, East Africa over the past 2200 years : validating the precipitation proxy [PDF]
, 2015 . The branched vs. isoprenoid index of tetraethers (BIT index) in Lake Challa sediments has been applied as a monsoon precipitation proxy on the assumption that the primary source of branched tetraether lipids (brGDGTs) was soil washed in from the lake's

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have similar power requirements in diverse marine oxic sediments [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2021 Abstract Energy/power availability is regarded as one of the ultimate controlling factors of microbial abundance in the deep biosphere, where fewer cells are found in habitats of lower energy availability. A critical assumption driving the proportional relationship between total cell abundance and power availability is that the cell ...

Diffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities [PDF]
, 2013 Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear.

Similar Microbial Communities Found on Two Distant Seafloor Basalts. [PDF]
, 2015 The oceanic crust forms two thirds of the Earth's surface and hosts a large phylogenetic and functional diversity of microorganisms. While advances have been made in the sedimentary realm, our understanding of the igneous rock portion as a microbial ...

Influence of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2014 Archaea are the least understood members of the microbial community in Antarctic mineral soils. Although their occurrence in Antarctic coastal soils has been previously documented, little is known about their distribution in soils across the McMurdo Dry ...

Marine ammonia-oxidising archaea and bacteria occupy distinct iron and copper niches [PDF]
ISME Communications, 2021 Abstract Ammonia oxidation by archaea and bacteria (AOA and AOB), is the first step of nitrification in the oceans. As AOA have an ammonium affinity 200-fold higher than AOB isolates, the chemical niche allowing AOB to persist in the oligotrophic ocean remains unclear.
