Deep Subsurface Microbiology: A guide to the Research topic papers [PDF]
Deep subsurface microbiology is a rising field in geomicrobiology, environmental microbiology and microbialecology that focuses on the molecular detection and quantification, cultivation, biogeographic examination, and distribution of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya that permeate the subsurface biosphere.

Subsurface microbiology and the pressing societal need to support future exploration. [PDF]
Abstract Subsurface microbiology is at a crossroads, evolving from asking ‘who’s home’ to seeking clarity on microbes' functionality and the key processes that constrain subsurface life. Importantly, the processes subsurface microorganisms mediate are central to societal needs to mitigate climate change and address waste storage, as ...

The deep subsurface biosphere in igneous ocean crust: frontier habitats for microbiological exploration [PDF]
We discuss ridge flank environments in the ocean crust as habitats for subseafloor microbial life. Oceanic ridge flanks, areas far from the magmatic and tectonic influence of seafloor spreading, comprise one of the largest and least explored microbial ...

Groundwater microbial community structure under contrasting hydrological conditions in a sulfate-rich karst aquifer [PDF]
Karst aquifers represent dynamic subsurface environments where hydrological fluctuations and redox variability can strongly influence groundwater microbiomes and associated biogeochemical processes. However, microbial sulfur cycling in sulfate-rich karst

Metabolic potential of newly isolated bacterial species from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt [PDF]
Río Tinto (Huelva, Spain) is an extreme environment whose origin is a natural underground bioreactor in which the high concentration of metallic sulfides of the Iberian Pyrite Belt are dissolved by microbial activity.

Probing the habitability of potential sulfuric acid rich subsurface lakes in Europa's ice shell via Saci/STIV integrated models [PDF]
Experimentally modeling the habitability of extreme ocean world conditions, such as those on Jupiter's moon: Europa, would benefit from integrated microbe-virus model studies to provide both a microbial model and a virus capable of nutrient cycling. This

Editorial: celebrating the biogeosphere at the joint meeting of International Societies for Environmental Biogeochemistry and Subsurface Microbiology. [PDF]
We show that chemical pollution alters microbial communities in predictable ways, making their evolutionary relationships a useful tool for tracking environmental contamination.
