Deep subsurface life from North Pond: enrichment, isolation, characterization and genomes of heterotrophic bacteria

Studies of subsurface microorganisms have yielded few environmentally relevant isolates for laboratory studies. In order to address this lack of cultivated microorganisms, we initiated several enrichments on sediment and underlying basalt samples from North Pond, a sediment basin ringed by basalt ou...
