Rapid Reactivation of Deep Subsurface Microbes in the Presence of C-1 Compounds

Microorganisms in the deep biosphere are believed to conduct little metabolic activity due to low nutrient availability in these environments. However, destructive penetration to long-isolated bedrock environments during construction of underground waste repositories can lead to increased nutrient a...
