Succession Patterns and Physical Niche Partitioning in Microbial Communities from Subsurface Coal Seams

Summary: The subsurface represents a largely unexplored frontier in microbiology. Here, coal seams present something of an oasis for microbial life, providing moisture, warmth, and abundant fossilized organic material. Microbes in coal seams are thought to syntrophically mobilize fossilized carbon f...
