A global perspective on bacterial diversity in the terrestrial deep subsurface

Microbiology, 2023
While recent efforts to catalogue Earth’s microbial diversity have focused upon surface and marine habitats, 12–20 % of Earth’s biomass is suggested to exist in the terrestrial deep subsurface, compared to ~1.8 % in the deep subseafloor.

The first cultivated representatives of the actinobacterial lineage OPB41 isolated from subsurface environments constitute a novel order Anaerosomatales

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The continental subsurface harbors microbial populations highly enriched in uncultured taxa. OPB41 is an uncultured order-level phylogenetic lineage within the actinobacterial class Coriobacteriia.

Rock-Hosted Subsurface Biofilms: Mineral Selectivity Drives Hotspots for Intraterrestrial Life

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The continental deep subsurface is likely the largest reservoir of biofilm-based microbial biomass on Earth, but the role of mineral selectivity in regulating its distribution and diversity is unclear.

Basalt-Hosted Microbial Communities in the Subsurface of the Young Volcanic Island of Surtsey, Iceland

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The island of Surtsey was formed in 1963–1967 on the offshore Icelandic volcanic rift zone. It offers a unique opportunity to study the subsurface biosphere in newly formed oceanic crust and an associated hydrothermal-seawater system, whose maximum ...

Subsurface microbiology: the life below our feet [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2012
Just as in the classic novel of Jules Verne A Journey to the Centre of the Earth , mankind currently experiences an increasing urge to venture into the subsurface. Mostly not in the true sense, but intellectually, in sampling and exploitation campaigns.

Subsurface microbiology – from exploration to working tools [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2004
This specialised issue of FEMS Microbiology Ecology contains selected papers from the International Symposium on Subsurface Microbiology (ISSM02) held in Copenhagen, Denmark, 8–13 September 2002. It was the fifth in a series of symposia, the first of which was held in Orlando, Florida, USA in 1990.

Microbial Life in the Deep Subsurface Aquifer Illuminated by Metagenomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
To get insights into microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes in the terrestrial deep subsurface aquifer, we sequenced the metagenome of artesian water collected at a 2.8 km deep oil exploration borehole 5P in Western Siberia, Russia. We obtained

Subsurface microbiological heterogeneity: current knowledge, descriptive approaches and applications [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1997
Improved understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of microbiological properties and processes is critical due to the relative difficulty and high cost of obtaining large numbers of subsurface samples. Quantification of spatial patterns in subsurface environments is important because it is well known that geologic, hydrologic and ...

The Deep Rocky Biosphere: New Geomicrobiological Insights and Prospects

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Rocks that react with liquid water are widespread but spatiotemporally limited throughout the solar system, except for Earth. Rock-forming minerals with high iron content and accessory minerals with high amounts of radioactive elements are essential to ...
