Extreme environments on Earth host a large diversity of microbial life. Bacteria, archaea, and
fungi are able to survive under one or several extreme conditions including extreme ranges …

Serpentinite-hosted systems are amongst the most challenging environments for life on
Earth. Serpentinization, a geochemical alteration of exposed ultramafic rock, produces …

Serpentinization, a geochemical process found on modern and ancient Earth, provides an
ultra-reducing environment that can support microbial methanogenesis and acetogenesis …

The southeastern part of New Caledonia main island (Grande Terre) is the location of a
large ophiolitic formation that hosts several hyperalkaline springs discharging high pH (∼ …

Alkaline ferrous slags pose global environmental issues and long-term risks to ambient
environments. To explore the under-investigated microbial structure and biogeochemistry in …

The terrestrial serpentinite-hosted ecosystem known as “The Cedars” is home to a diverse
microbial community persisting under highly alkaline (pH~ 12) and reducing (Eh<− 550 mV) …

Due to their ability to withstand “extreme” conditions, Earth's extremophilic organisms can
constrain habitability windows for other planetary systems. However, there are many other …

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from
a freshwater sample of Nakdong River in South Korea and designated as strain BK-30T. An …

Microbial life in the deep subsurface occupies rock surfaces as attached communities and
biofilms. Previously, epilithic Fennoscandian deep subsurface bacterial communities were …

Single-cell proteins (SCP) are an alternative source of protein that can be obtained from
microbial biomass. The hydrogenotrophic cultivation has the potential to link the …
