Microbiology of Movile Cave—A Chemolithoautotrophic Ecosystem
Geomicrobiology Journal, 2014 Discovered in 1986, Movile Cave is an unusual cave ecosystem sustained by in situ chemoautotrophic primary production. The cave is completely isolated from the surface and the primary energy sources are hydrogen sulfide and methane released from hydrothermal fluids.

Preliminary Evidence for a Sulphur Cycle in Movile Cave, Romania
Acta Biotechnologica, 2003 AbstractIn order to investigate the food chain and energy balance of the chemolithoautotrophically‐based ecosystem of the sulphur spring in Movile Cave as a model system for extraterrestrial life, a first sampling campaign was done. Microbial diversity and activity were analysed by MPN‐enumeration methods and microcalorimetry, respectively. In addition,

Cave and Karst Systems of Romania, 2018 Movile Cave (SE Romania) is the first known subterranean chemosynthesis-based ecosystem. Sulfur- and methane-oxidizing, as well as nitrifying microorganisms, form the base of the food web in this peculiar ecosystem. The bacteria use mainly oxygen from the cave’s atmosphere as electron acceptor to oxidize H2S, CH4, and NH4+, which originate from the ...
