Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

Deep marine subsurface sediments represent a novel archaeal biosphere with unknown
physiology; the sedimentary subsurface harbors numerous novel phylogenetic lineages of …

Elevational gradients strongly affect the spatial distribution and structure of soil bacterial
communities. However, our understanding of the effects and determining factors is still …

The stratified distribution of bacterial and archaeal communities has been detected in many
sediment profiles from various natural environments. A better understanding of microbial …

The deep subseafloor biosphere supports a diverse population of prokaryotes belonging to
the Bacteria and Archaea. Most of the taxonomic groups identified by molecular methods …

We used a combination of field and laboratory approaches to address how the bioturbation
activity of two crustaceans, the ghost shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis and the fiddler crab …

Bioremediation of a PAH-contaminated soil was carried out with a bacterial consortium
enriched from the soil. The soil contained 9362.1 μg kg− 1 of USEPA priority PAHs, 90.6% of …

The subsurface of a tidal-flat sediment was analyzed down to 360 cm in depth by molecular
and geochemical methods. A community structure analysis of all three domains of life was …

Background Sundarban is the world's largest coastal sediment comprising of mangrove
forest which covers about one million hectares in the south-eastern parts of India and …

Cyanobacterial blooms have considerable effects on lacustrine microbial communities. The
current study explored the temporal pattern of sedimentary archaea and bacteria during …
