Prokaryotic communities from a lava tube cave in La Palma Island (Spain) are involved in the biogeochemical cycle of major elements [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Lava caves differ from karstic caves in their genesis and mineral composition. Subsurface microbiology of lava tube caves in Canary Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, is largely unknown.

Geological and Geochemical Controls on Subsurface Microbial Life in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Microbial abundance and diversity in deep subsurface environments is dependent upon the availability of energy and carbon. However, supplies of oxidants and reductants capable of sustaining life within mafic and ultramafic continental aquifers undergoing

Microbial diversity gradients in the geothermal mud volcano underlying the hypersaline Urania Basin
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Mud volcanoes transport deep fluidized sediment and their microbial communities and thus provide a window into the deep biosphere. However, mud volcanoes are commonly sampled at the surface and not probed at greater depths, with the consequence that ...
