Living in the deep, dark, slow lane: Insights from the first global appraisal of microbiomes in Earth's subsurface environments
Woods Hole MA (SPX) Dec 26, 2024
Which microbes thrive below us in darkness - in gold mines, in aquifers, in deep boreholes in the seafloor - and how do they compare to the microbiomes that envelop the Earth's surfaces, on land and sea?
The first global study to embrace this huge question, conducted at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, reveals astonishingly high microbial diversity in some subsurface env
