Local and Regional Diversity Reveals Dispersal Limitation and Drift as Drivers for Groundwater Bacterial Communities from a Fractured Granite Formation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microorganisms found in terrestrial subsurface environments make up a large proportion of the Earth’s biomass. Biogeochemical cycles catalysed by subsurface microbes have the potential to influence the speciation and transport of radionuclides managed ...

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Microbial Community Structure of Subglacial Lake Whillans, West Antarctica

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Subglacial Lake Whillans (SLW), located beneath ~800 m of ice on the Whillans Ice Stream in West Antarctica was sampled in January of 2013, providing the first opportunity to directly examine water and sediments from an Antarctic subglacial lake.

A Nonlinear Quantitative Model for Measuring Concentration Ratios From Raman Intensities

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Estimating concentration from Raman intensity ratios is complicated by cross‐contributions from overlapping peaks, causing measured ratios to deviate from the linear behavior assumed in conventional quantitative models. This nonlinear method fully accounts for cross‐contributions, allowing estimation of concentration over several orders of magnitude ...

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Microbiological Quality of Subsurface Drainage Water from Irrigated Agricultural Land [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1972
AbstractIrrigation and subsurface drainage waters sampled from an 82,150‐hectare (203,000‐acre) irrigation district in southern Idaho were evaluated for bacteriological quality. The soils in the district are wind deposited over fractured basalt, calcareous, and have a pH near 7.8.

Harnessing microbial power to degrade hydrocarbon‐based plastics

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing global plastic waste crisis demands the development of urgent, effective, and sustainable solutions. While conventional recycling methods present intrinsic limitations, microbial biodegradation of plastic waste has emerged as a promising alternative.

Unmanned Aerial Systems for Corrosion Detection: Multi‐Sensor Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities for Next‐Generation Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion remains a critical threat to the integrity and service life of infrastructure in industries such as oil, gas, construction, renewable energy, and transportation. Traditional inspection methods, being labor‐intensive, hazardous, and often subjective, fall short in addressing modern inspection demands.

Leaky Sewers Hydraulically Disconnect from Groundwater: A Proof‐of‐Concept

Groundwater, EarlyView.
In this study, we newly demonstrate that leaky pipes can become hydraulically disconnected from the underlying groundwater—a phenomenon analogous to river–groundwater interactions. Through numerical modeling, we show that, as the groundwater table declines, the leakage flux from the pipe (in absolute terms) initially increases until a critical depth ...

Identification and Removal of Contaminant Sequences From Ribosomal Gene Databases: Lessons From the Census of Deep Life

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Earth’s subsurface environment is one of the largest, yet least studied, biomes on Earth, and many questions remain regarding what microorganisms are indigenous to the subsurface. Through the activity of the Census of Deep Life (CoDL) and the Deep Carbon
