Physiological Studies of Alkaliphilic Anaerobic Organotrophs in a Serpentinizing Subsurface Habitat
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Microbial habitats in serpentinizing ultramafic rocks represent one of the largest, yet least understood portions of the biosphere, with potentially major consequences for global biogeochemical cycles. Serpentinization is ...
Physiological and Phylogenetic Studies of the Biogeography of Alkaliphilic Heterotrophic Bacteria from Serpentinizing Habitats
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Serpentinization occurs when ultramafic rocks containing the mineral olivine react with water to produce highly reducing conditions, which are commonly coincident with high concentrations of hydrogen. Hydrogen provides ...
