Analysis of methanotrophic bacteria in Movile Cave by stable isotope probing [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2003 Summary Movile Cave is an unusual groundwater ecosystem that is supported by in situ chemoautotrophic production. The cave atmosphere contains 1–2% methane (CH 4 ), although much higher concentrations are found in gas bubbles that keep

Alveolates (dinoflagellates, ciliates and apicomplexans) and Rhizarians are the most common microbial eukaryotes in temperate Appalachian karst caves. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol Rep, 2022 Summary The purpose of this study was to survey the eukaryotic microbiome of two karst caves in the Valley and Ridge physiographic region of the Appalachian Mountains. Caves are known to harbour eukaryotic microbes but their very low densities and small cell size make them difficult to collect and identify.
