Microbial mats are horizontally stratified microbial communities, exhibiting a structure
defined by physiochemical gradients, which models microbial diversity, physiological …

Abstract The Permian Fengcheng Formation in the Mahu Sag in the Junggar Basin
represents deposition in a rare alkaline saline lake, with hydrologically closed conditions …

The geothermal zone of Araró, México, is located within the trans-Mexican volcanic belt, an
area with numerous arsenic (As)-rich hot springs. In this study, the draft genome sequence …

In terrestrial hot springs, some members of the microbial mat community utilize sulfur
chemical species for reduction and oxidization metabolism. In this study, the diversity and …

The microbial characteristics of water bodies located in the outflow of hot springs may affect
the water quality parameters of the associated river ecosystem. Using 16S rRNA amplicon …

The hot springs are home to a rich bacterial diversity which could be the source of enzymes,
antibiotics and many other commercially important products. Most of the hot springs present …

Bacteria have developed different intra-and inter-specific communication mechanisms that
involve the production, release, and detection of signaling molecules, because these …

This study was aimed at investigating the hydrogeochemical and isotopic characteristics of
low-temperature hydrothermal springs in six study sites located in the eastern portion of the …

Groundwater-N pollution derives from agricultural and urban activities, and compromises
water quality in shallow aquifers, putting human and environmental health at risk …

Thermal waters are natural resources of great value to geothermal sciences, the tourism
industry, and health. In this work, geochemical classification of physicochemical results of 17 …
