Novel Microbial Groups Drive Productivity in an Archean Iron Formation

Novel Microbial Groups Drive Productivity in an Archean Iron Formation

Deep subsurface environments are decoupled from Earth’s surface processes yet diverse, active, and abundant microbial communities thrive in these isolated environments. Microbes inhabiting the deep biosphere face unique challenges such as electron donor/acceptor limitations, pore space/fracture netw...
