Hydrogen is a key energy source for subsurface microbial processes, particularly in
subsurface environments with limited alternative electron donors, and environments that are …

The geomicrobiological characterization of the water column and sediments of Río Tinto
(Huelva, Southwestern Spain) have proven the importance of the iron and the sulfur cycles …

Cyanobacteria are ecologically versatile microorganisms inhabiting most environments,
ranging from marine systems to arid deserts. Although they possess several pathways for …

Microbial activity is a major contributor to the biogeochemical cycles that make up the life
support system of planet Earth. A 613 m deep geomicrobiological perforation and a …

Hydrogen can serve as an electron donor for chemolithotrophic acidophiles, especially in
the deep terrestrial subsurface and geothermal ecosystems. Nevertheless, the current …

Bacterial surfaces are decorated with distinct carbohydrate structures that may substantially
differ among species and strains. These structures can be recognized by a variety of glycan …

Although phosphate and carbonate are important constituents in ancient and modern
environments, it is not yet clear their biogeochemical relationships and their mechanisms of …

Methanol is generally metabolized through a pathway initiated by a cobalamine-containing
methanol methyltransferase by anaerobic methylotrophs (such as methanogens and …

Although information from devoted geomicrobiological drilling studies is limited, it is clear
that the results obtained so far call for a systematic exploration of the deep continental …

Most of the terrestrial deep subsurfaces are oligotrophic environments in which some gases,
mainly H2, CH4 and CO2, play an important role as energy and/or carbon sources. In this …
