We report fungal diversity in deep-sea sediment samples collected from low- and high-temperature vent systems (Pescadero Basin, Pescadero Transform Fault, and Alarcon Rise) and an OMZ (Alfonso Basin)
The Macando oil spill three years ago released an unprecedented amount of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The environmental impacts of this massive influx oil are still being studied today. This project
Much of the earth's microbial biomass exists in the subsurface, and a sizable fraction of this is in oceanic igneous rocks. If microbial life in the igneous ocean crust extends to the depth of the ~12
The subsurface realm is colonized by microbial communities at depths of more than 1000 meters below the seafloor (mbsf), but little is known about its global diversity and microbial distribution patte
