Subsurface microbial habitats on Mars [PDF]

open access: yes
We developed scenarios for shallow and deep subsurface cryptic niches for microbial life on Mars. Such habitats could have considerably prolonged the persistence of life on Mars as surface conditions became increasingly inhospitable.

Ecological and Genomic Attributes of Novel Bacterial Taxa That Thrive in Subsurface Soil Horizons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
While most bacterial and archaeal taxa living in surface soils remain undescribed, this problem is exacerbated in deeper soils, owing to the unique oligotrophic conditions found in the subsurface.

Deciphering the “Missing Xenon Paradox” in Celestial Bodies: A Multifaceted Perspective Toward Demystifying This Enigma

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

Consumption of Methane and CO_2 by Methanotrophic Microbial Mats from Gas Seeps of the Anoxic Black Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The deep anoxic shelf of the northwestern Black Sea has numerous gas seeps, which are populated by methanotrophic microbial mats in and above the seafloor.

The Evolving Roles of Electrical Geophysical Methods for In Situ Remediation Assessment: Progress and Perspectives

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In situ remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater demands real‐time monitoring to capture complex subsurface dynamics. Geophysical methods, particularly electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and induced polarization (IP), offer non‐ or minimally invasive, high‐resolution imaging of subsurface changes during remediation.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Cultivation‐Based Detection of a Novel High‐GC Nitrospira Derived From the Argentinian Copahue Volcano Area

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Ultradeep Microbial Communities at 4.4 km within Crystalline Bedrock: Implications for Habitability in a Planetary Context

open access: yesLife, 2020
The deep bedrock surroundings are an analog for extraterrestrial habitats for life. In this study, we investigated microbial life within anoxic ultradeep boreholes in Precambrian bedrock, including the adaptation to environmental conditions and lifestyle

Microbiological Comparison of Surface Soil and Unsaturated Subsurface Soil from a Semiarid High Desert [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989
Thirty-two chemoheterotrophic bacteria were isolated from unsaturated subsurface soil samples obtained from ca. 70 m below land surface in a high desert in southeastern Idaho. Most isolates were gram positive (84%) and strict aerobes (79%). Acridine orange direct counts of microbes in one subsurface sample showed lower numbers than similar
