Autotrophic theories for the origin of metabolism posit that the first cells satisfied their carbon
needs from CO2 and were chemolithoautotrophs that obtained their energy and electrons …

One of the most plausible scenarios of the origin of life assumes the preceding prebiotic
autotrophic metabolism in sulfide-rich hydrothermal vent environments. However …

The primary source of soil pollution is a complex mixture of numerous inorganic and organic
compounds (including chlorinated compounds, nutrients, and heavy metals, etc.). The …

Antimony is widely acknowledged as a critical raw material of worldwide significance, based
on its recognition by many countries. According to current projections, there is an anticipated …

The importance of magnesite for the EU economy and industry is very high, making the

The northwest of the island of Euboea is located in a back-arc geological position, at the
western extremity of the North Anatolian Fault. In that area, several hot springs occur in three …

A hot spring at Ilia in the Greek Island of Euboea precipitates iron‐rich travertine at an ore‐
grade concentration (up to 35.3 wt% Fe). This hydrothermal chemical sediment system …

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are a source of Fe to the ocean with potential impact on
surface ocean primary productivity. Long-range horizontal transport of hydrothermally …

The aim of this study is to identify the biomineralisation processes in hot springs of North‐
West Euboea Island by assessing the physico‐chemical parameters of the hot water, the …

Nucleotide-derived cofactors could function as a missing link between the informational and
the metabolic part at life's emergence. One well-known example is nicotinamide …
