Temperature-driven shifts in microbial reactions and community structure in bentonite under Fe(III)- and sulfate-reducing conditions: implications for deep geological repository performance [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyBentonite is a promising buffer material for the engineered barrier system in deep geological repositories (DGRs) of spent nuclear fuel. Beyond its physical barrier function, bentonite harbors microbial communities that can mediate biogeochemical ...

Hydrogen and dark oxygen drive microbial productivity in diverse groundwater ecosystems
Nature Communications, 2023 Around 50% of humankind relies on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Here we investigate the age, geochemistry, and microbiology of 138 groundwater samples from 95 monitoring wells (

Culturomics of Bacteria from Radon-Saturated Water of the World’s Oldest Radium Mine
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Balneotherapeutic water springs, such as those with thermal, saline, sulfur, or any other characteristics, have recently been the subject of phylogenetic studies with a closer focus on the description and/or isolation of phylogenetically novel or ...

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.

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 ...

Subsurface Microbial Hydrogen Cycling: Natural Occurrence and Implications for Industry
Microorganisms, 2019 Hydrogen is a key energy source for subsurface microbial processes, particularly in subsurface environments with limited alternative electron donors, and environments that are not well connected to the surface.
