Microbial mineral colonization across a subsurface redox transition zone
This study employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon pyrosequencing to examine the hypothesis that chemolithotrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) would preferentially colonize the Fe(II)-bearing mineral biotite compared to quartz sand when the minerals were incubated in situ within a subsurface redox transition zone (RTZ) at the Hanford 300 Area site in Richland, WA, USA. The work was motivated by th...
متن کاملMetabolically active microbial communities in uranium-contaminated subsurface sediments.
In order to develop effective bioremediation strategies for radionuclide contaminants, the composition and metabolic potential of microbial communities need to be better understood, especially in highly contaminated subsurface sediments for which little cultivation-independent information is available. In this study, we characterized metabolically active and total microbial communities associat...
متن کاملGeological and Geochemical Controls on Subsurface Microbial Life in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman
Microbial abundance and diversity in deep subsurface environments is dependent upon the availability of energy and carbon. However, supplies of oxidants and reductants capable of sustaining life within mafic and ultramafic continental aquifers undergoing low-temperature water-rock reaction are relatively unknown. We conducted an extensive analysis of the geochemistry and microbial communities r...
متن کاملQuantification of Microbial Communities in Subsurface Marine Sediments of the Black Sea and off Namibia
Organic-rich subsurface marine sediments were taken by gravity coring up to a depth of 10 m below seafloor at six stations from the anoxic Black Sea and the Benguela upwelling system off Namibia during the research cruises Meteor 72-5 and 76-1, respectively. The quantitative microbial community composition at various sediment depths was analyzed using total cell counting, catalyzed reporter dep...
متن کاملMicrobial biodegradation of the herbicide 2,4-D in soils and subsurface sediments
Much of the row crop production agriculture in the Midwest occurs on soils developed from glacial till, but little research has addressed herbicide biodegradation in subsurface till. This study investigated the ability of indigenous microorganisms to mineralize the herbicide 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) at sites in Iowa and Indiana. Microorganisms were able to mineralize 2,4-D, with r...
