• Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have similar power requirements in diverse marine oxic sediments 

      Zhao, Rui; Mogollon, Jose M; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Økland, Ingeborg Elisabet; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Energy/power availability is regarded as one of the ultimate controlling factors of microbial abundance in the deep biosphere, where fewer cells are found in habitats of lower energy availability. A critical assumption ...
    • Geochemical transition zone powering microbial growth in subsurface sediments 

      Zhao, Rui; Mogollon, Jose M; Abby, Sophie; Schleper, Christa; Biddle, Jennifer; Roerdink, Desiree; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      No other environment hosts as many microbial cells as the marine sedimentary biosphere. While the majority of these cells are expected to be alive, they are speculated to be persisting in a state of maintenance without net ...
