Deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basins (DHABs) are considered to be among the most
extreme ecosystems on our planet, allowing only the life of polyextremophilic organisms …

ABSTRACT The Permian Basin is the highest producing oil and gas reservoir in the United
States. Hydrocarbon resources in this region are often accessed by unconventional …

Simple Summary A significant amount of residual oil is located in oil reservoirs with high-
salinity formation water levels. Microorganisms are capable of producing a number of oil …

Oil reservoirs can represent extreme environments for microbial life due to low water
availability, high salinity, high pressure and naturally occurring radionuclides. This study …

While interest in underground gas storage (UGS) of hydrogen (H2) in salt caverns is
increasing in a growing H2 economy, knowledge of the microbial communities inhabiting …

In deep ocean hypersaline basins, the combination of high salinity, unusual ionic
composition and anoxic conditions represents significant challenges for microbial life. We …

The restricted bioavailability of structurally complex carbohydrates for digestion has hitherto
resulted in a low methane potential from rubber wood waste (RW). The effects of …

Oil reservoirs contain microbial populations that are both autochthonously and
allochthonously introduced by industrial development. These microbial populations are …

A novel anaerobic methylotrophic halophilic methanogen strain SLHTYRO T was isolated
from a deep hypersaline anoxic basin called “Tyro” located in the Eastern Mediterranean …

The deep biosphere is home to an abundance of microorganisms. However, limitations to
accessing deep subsurface samples means that very little is known about microorganisms …
