Our societies generate increasing volumes of organic wastes. Considering that we also
need alternatives to oil, an opportunity exists to extract liquid fuels or even industrial solvents …

Thermophilic and hyperthermophilic Archaea and Bacteria have been isolated from marine
hydrothermal systems, heated sediments, continental solfataras, hot springs, water heaters …

The oxidative degradation of organic matter is a key process in the biogeochemical
functioning of the earth system. Quantitative models of organic matter degradation are …

Correlations among experimentally determined standard partial molal thermodynamic
properties of inorganic aqueous species at 25° C and 1 bar allow estimates of these …

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 …

Arguments for an abiotic origin of low-molecular weight organic compounds in deep-sea hot
springs are compelling owing to implications for the sustenance of deep biosphere microbial …

Standard partial molal thermodynamic properties including association constants for 246
inorganic aqueous rare earth element (REE) complexes with chloride, fluoride, hydroxide …

Saturn's moon, Enceladus, is a geologically active waterworld. The prevailing paradigm is
that there is a subsurface ocean that erupts to the surface, which leads to the formation of a …

Microorganisms in marine subsurface sediments substantially contribute to global biomass.
Sediments warmer than 40° C account for roughly half the marine sediment volume, but the …

Fluids from the ultramafic-hosted Lost City hydrothermal field were analyzed for total
dissolved organic carbon and dissolved organic acids. Formate (36–158μmol/kg) and …
