Sulfide-rich mine tailings in Adak that are exposed to weathering cause acid mine drainage
characterized by low pH (2–4) and high SO4 (up to 800mgL− 1). Surface water, sediment …

The past decade of scientific ocean drilling has revealed seemingly ubiquitous, slow-
growing microbial life within a range of deep biosphere habitats. Integrated Ocean Drilling …

Recognition of the metabolic process of chemosynthesis has recently overthrown the
ecological dogma that all life on earth is dependent on sunlight. In complete darkness …

The detailed understanding of in situ biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in porous
aquifers requires knowledge on biogeochemical gradients, the distribution of individual …

A largely terrestrial, lignite/coal-bearing, 148 m core from the Waikato Basin, New Zealand,
was studied, with a multidisciplinary approach, for subsurface microbiology. The top≈ 76 m …
