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 …

The seabed plays a key role in the marine carbon cycle as a) the terminal location of aerobic
oxidation of organic matter, b) the greatest anaerobic bioreactor, and c) the greatest …

Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

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 …

A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into
subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth's history …

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 …

A method for the extraction of nucleic acids from a wide range of environmental samples
was developed. This method consists of several modules, which can be individually …

The sample analysis at Mars instrument evolved gas analyzer (SAM‐EGA) has detected
evolved water, H2, SO2, H2S, NO, CO2, CO, O2, and HCl from two eolian sediments and …

The rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) in bioapatite from deep-sea sediments are
potential proxies for reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions. However, the REY …

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 …
