Microbial Provinces in the Subseafloor
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2010The rocks and sediments of the oceanic subsurface represent a diverse mosaic of environments potentially inhabited by microorganisms. Understanding microbial ecosystems in subseafloor environments confounds standard ecological descriptions in part because we have difficulty elucidating and describing the scale of relevant processes.

Induction of prophages from deep‐subseafloor bacteria
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2011Summary The deep‐subseafloor biosphere harbours a major part of the total microbial biomass on Earth. However, how life and death in this environment are regulated is not yet understood. While organisms from higher trophic levels appear to be absent, viruses might be a factor for microbial mortality.

The Deep Subseafloor and Biosignatures
2018A critical issue in astrobiology is “where to look for present or past life?” and which types of environments could be relevant, i.e. environments associated with high probabilities to (have) support(ed) life and preserve(d) biosignatures. Due both to the large reservoir it represents and to its protective effect against harmful surface conditions, for

Fossilized fungi in subseafloor Eocene basalts
Geology, 2012The deep biosphere of subseafloor basalts is thought to consist of mainly prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea). Here we report fossilized filamentous microorganisms from subseafloor basalts interpreted as fossilized fungal hyphae, probably Dikarya, rather than fossilized prokaryotes. The basalts were collected during the Ocean Drilling Program Leg 197 at

Distributions of Microbial Activities in Deep Subseafloor Sediments
Science, 2004Diverse microbial communities and numerous energy-yielding activities occur in deeply buried sediments of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Distributions of metabolic activities often deviate from the standard model. Rates of activities, cell concentrations, and populations of cultured bacteria vary consistently from one subseafloor environment to another ...

Fossilized Life in Subseafloor Ultramafic Rocks
Geomicrobiology Journal, 2018Ultramafic rocks are hypothesized to support a subseafloor hydrogen-driven biosphere because of extensive production of bioavailable energy sources like H2 or CH4 from fluid-rock interactions.

Lower power limit to subseafloor life
Science, 2020Deep Biosphere Microorganisms in sediment in the subseafloor have survived under extreme energy constraints for millions of years. Using a global bioenergetic ecosystem model, Bradley et al. calculated the rate of microbial energy use in marine sediment deposited in the past ∼2.6 million years, as well as the rate and thermodynamic properties of ...

Viral activities and life cycles in deep subseafloor sediments
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2015Summary Viruses are highly abundant in marine subsurface sediments and can even exceed the number of prokaryotes. However, their activity and quantitative impact on microbial populations are still poorly understood. Here, we use gene expression data from published continental margin subseafloor metatranscriptomes to qualitatively ...
