DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.826048
Abstract: The deep terrestrial biosphere hosts vast sessile rock surface communities and biofilms, but thus far, mostly planktic communities have been studied. We enriched deep subsurface microbial communities on mica schist in microcosms containing bedrock groundwater… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1054084
Abstract: Microbial life in the deep subsurface occupies rock surfaces as attached communities and biofilms. Previously, epilithic Fennoscandian deep subsurface bacterial communities were shown to host genetic potential, especially for heterotrophy and sulfur cycling. Acetate, methane,… read more here.
