Low temperature alteration of oceanic basement rocks is characterized by net gain of sulfur, which commonly yields low d34S values, suggesting involvement of microbial sulfate reduction. In order to t
m CSF = depth of Core below Sea Floor in meters / m CSF-A: Distance from sea floor to sample within recovered core. This scale allows overlap at core and section boundaries. /m...
Despite being considered an extreme environment, several studies have shown that life in the deep subsurface is abundant and diverse. Microorganisms inhabiting these systems live within the rock pores
The deep biosphere is the largest habitat on Earth. Several studies even suggest that microorganisms in deep subsurface environments constitute up to 50% of the total biomass and maintain extremely sl
