Subsurface microbiology: the life below our feet [PDF]
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 â from exploration to working tools [PDF]
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.

The Deep Rocky Biosphere: New Geomicrobiological Insights and Prospects
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
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.

A cell extraction method for oily sediments
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 ...

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

Microbial activity in the marine deep biosphere: Progress and prospects
The vast marine deep biosphere consists of microbial habitats within sediment, pore waters, upper basaltic crust and the fluids that circulate throughout it.

Isolation and characterization of electrochemically active subsurface Delftia and Azonexus species
Continental subsurface environments can present significant energetic challenges to the resident microorganisms. While these environments are geologically diverse, potentially allowing energy harvesting by microorganisms that catalyze redox reactions ...
