Spatial and temporal groundwater biogeochemical variability help inform subsurface connectivity within a high-altitude Alpine catchment (Riale di Ronco, Switzerland)

Frontiers in Microbiology
Accessing the deep terrestrial subsurface (greater than 1 km below the surface) presents significant practical challenges, leaving these ecosystems largely uncharacterized despite their extensive presence beneath Earth's landmasses.

Microbial stimulation and succession following a test well injection simulating CO2 leakage into a shallow Newark basin aquifer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In addition to efforts aimed at reducing anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases, geological storage of CO2 is being explored as a strategy to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emission and mitigate climate change.

High biodiversity in a benzene-degrading nitrate-reducing culture is sustained by a few primary consumers

Communications Biology, 2021
Chrats Melkonian and colleagues use metagenomics and transcriptomics to study microbial dynamics in a 15-year old bioreactor. In contrast to what is expected in a system where benzene is the primary carbon and energy source, relatively few members of the

Minimal changes in microbial abundances and diversity over 7 years of emplacement for modules of compacted bentonite exposed to natural groundwater

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
The multi-national in situ Materials Corrosion Test (MaCoTe), being conducted at the Grimsel Test Site in Switzerland, assesses the stability of bentonite as it may be utilized within deep geological repositories (DGRs), which are proposed for the safe ...

Preliminary Assessment of Microbial Community Structure of Wind-Tidal Flats in the Laguna Madre, Texas, USA

Biology, 2020
Aside from two samples collected nearly 50 years ago, little is known about the microbial composition of wind tidal flats in the hypersaline Laguna Madre, Texas. These mats account for ~42% of the lagoon’s area.

MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES AT THE BOREHOLE OBSERVATORY ON THE COSTA RICA RIFT FLANK (OCEAN DRILLING PROGRAM HOLE 896A)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
The microbiology of subsurface, hydrothermally-influenced basaltic crust flanking mid-ocean ridges has remained understudied, due to the difficulty in accessing the subsurface environment.

Recovery and Origin of Subsurface Microbiological Contamination from an Acrylic Latex Coating

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 1995
Abstract This study investigated the potential subsurface retention of microbes including foodborne pathogens by coatings applied to poultry processing plant walls and ceilings. Recovery and origin of subsurface microbial contamination of an acrylic latex coating in a simulated poultry processing plant environment with or without sanitation were ...

Methane- and hydrogen-dependent prokaryotic deep biosphere at the Suwa Basin, Japan: impacts of hydrogeological processes on subsurface prokaryotic ecology at the boundary between the North American and the Eurasian Plates

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The subsurface biosphere hosts diverse prokaryotes whose metabolic activities and roles in biogeochemical cycles remain unexplored. Specifically, interactions between subsurface prokaryotes and environmental characteristics are poorly constrained.

Microbiology of shallow subsurface aquifer and carbonate rocks studied by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. Preliminary results on an underground laboratory, the LSBB, Rustrel, France

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
We investigated the microbiology of a shallow subsurface site, the LSBB, located near Avignon. This site lies in carbonate rocks, belonging to the Urgonian facies. Rock, concrete and water samples were collected and directly transferred to the laboratory.
