Subsurface Microbial Habitats in an Extreme Desert Mars-Analog Environment
Sediments in the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are a terrestrial analog to Mars regolith. Understanding the distribution and drivers of microbial life in the sediment may give critical clues on how to search for biosignatures on Mars.

Isolation of Lightning-Competent Soil Bacteria [PDF]
ABSTRACT Artificial transformation is typically performed in the laboratory by using either a chemical (CaCl 2 ) or an electrical (electroporation) method. However, laboratory-scale lightning has been shown recently to electrotransform Escherichia coli strain DH10B in soil.

Community ecology of denitrifying bacteria in arable land [PDF]
Denitrifying bacteria comprise a functional guild that under anaerobic conditions is able to use nitrogenous compound for respiration. Agricultural soils are often fertilized with nitrogen, and the reduction of nitrate and nitrite to nitric oxide ...
