• 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 ...
    • Hydrothermal activity fuels microbial sulfate reduction in deep and distal marine settings along the Arctic Mid Ocean Ridges 

      Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Vulcano, Francesca; Landro, Jan-Kristoffer; Moltubakk, Karen Elisabeth; Babel, Hannah Rose; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth; Baumberger, Tamara; Økland, Ingeborg Elisabet; Reeves, Eoghan; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Reigstad, Laila Johanne; Strauss, Harald; Steen, Ida Helene (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Microbial sulfate reduction is generally limited in the deep sea compared to shallower marine environments, but cold seeps and hydrothermal systems are considered an exception. Here, we report sulfate reduction rates and ...
