Carbonate-rich dendrolitic cones: insights into a modern analog for incipient microbialite formation, Little Hot Creek, Long Valley Caldera, California.
(2017)
Ancient putative microbial structures that appear in the rock record commonly serve as evidence of early life on Earth, but the details of their formation remain unclear. The study of modern microbial mat structures can ...
Survival of the fewest: Microbial dormancy and maintenance in marine sediments through deep time.
(2019-01)
Microorganisms buried in marine sediments are known to endure starvation over geologic timescales. However, the mechanisms of how these microorganisms cope with prolonged energy limitation is unknown and therefore yet to ...
Microbial community dynamics in the forefield of glaciers.
(2014-11-22)
Retreating ice fronts (as a result of a warming climate) expose large expanses of deglaciated forefield, which become colonized by microbes and plants. There has been increasing interest in characterizing the biogeochemical ...
Impacts of deep-sea mining on microbial ecosystem services
(2020-01-01)
© 2020 The Authors. Limnology and Oceanography published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. Interest in extracting mineral resources from the seafloor through ...
The fate of organic carbon in marine sediments - New insights from recent data and analysis
(2020-02-29)
© 2020 Elsevier B.V. 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 sequestration over ...
Bioenergetic Controls on Microbial Ecophysiology in Marine Sediments.
(2018)
Marine sediments constitute one of the most energy-limited habitats on Earth, in which microorganisms persist over extraordinarily long timescales with very slow metabolisms. This habitat provides an ideal environment in ...
