A wide array of microorganisms, including many novel, phylogenetically deeply rooted taxa,
survive and thrive in extreme environments. These unique and reduced-complexity …

Biofilms are a form of collective life with emergent properties that confer many advantages
on their inhabitants, and they represent a much higher level of organization than single cells …

Microbial life in marine sediment contributes substantially to global biomass and is a crucial
component of the Earth system. Subseafloor sediment includes both aerobic and anaerobic …

Organic carbon in marine sediments is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, and
its degradation influences a wide range of phenomena, including the magnitude of carbon …

The search for traces of life is one of the principal objectives of Mars exploration. Central to
this objective is the concept of habitability, the set of conditions that allows the appearance …

Microbial life inhabits deeply buried marine sediments, but the extent of this vast ecosystem
remains poorly constrained. Here we provide evidence for the existence of microbial …

A general review of the sub-seafloor biosphere is presented. This includes an update and
assessment of prokaryotic cell distributions within marine sediments, current deepest 1922 …

In the bathypelagic realm of the ocean, the role of marine snow as a carbon and energy
source for the deep-sea biota and as a potential hotspot of microbial diversity and activity …

Diffuse midline gliomas (including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, DIPG) are highly morbid
glial neoplasms of the thalamus or brainstem that typically arise in young children and are …

This article reviews the comparative diversity of psychrophilic and psychrotrophic fungi, their
adaptability mechanisms for survival and potential applications in biotechnology and …
