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 ...

Microbial community structure characteristics among different karst aquifer systems, and its potential role in modifying hydraulic properties of karst aquifers

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Little is known about how microbial activity affects the hydraulic properties of karst aquifers. To explore the potential impacts of microbial activity on the hydraulic properties of karst aquifers, microbiological analysis, heat tracer, isotope ...

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 ...

A cell extraction method for oily sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Hydrocarbons can be found in many different habitats and represent an important carbon source for microbes. As fossil fuels, they are also an important economical resource, through natural seepage or accidental release they can also be major pollutants ...

From Surface to Subsurface: Diversity, Composition, and Abundance of Sessile and Endolithic Bacterial, Archaeal, and Eukaryotic Communities in Sand, Clay and Rock Substrates in the Laurentians (Quebec, Canada)

Microorganisms, 2022
Microbial communities play an important role in shallow terrestrial subsurface ecosystems. Most studies of this habitat have focused on planktonic communities that are found in the groundwater of aquifer systems and only target specific microbial groups.

Succession Patterns and Physical Niche Partitioning in Microbial Communities from Subsurface Coal Seams

iScience, 2019
Summary: The subsurface represents a largely unexplored frontier in microbiology. Here, coal seams present something of an oasis for microbial life, providing moisture, warmth, and abundant fossilized organic material.
