Karst caves are characterized by darkness, low temperature, high humidity, and oligotrophic
organisms due to its relatively closed and strongly zonal environments. Up to now, 1626 …

Caves are typified by their permanent darkness and a shortage of nutrients. Consequently,
bacteria play an important role in sustaining such subsurface ecosystems by dominating …

Caves are ecosystems and natural heritage sites with magnificent biological diversity, from
microorganisms to animals, despite their selective environment for development and …

The cave microbiota is assumed to be shaped by indoor microclimate, biotic and abiotic
factors, which are largely dependent from outside environmental conditions; however, this …

As a unique ecosystem, Karst caves harbor an impressive diversity of specific fungi.
However, the factors and mechanisms that shape fungal biodiversity in caves remain …

The diversity and function of microorganisms have yet to be explored at non-ferrous metal
mining facilities (NMMFs), which are the world's largest and potentially most toxic sources of …

Three different organic substrates, K-medium, sterilized activated sludge (SAS), and
