Thiobacillus as a key player for biofilm formation in oligotrophic groundwaters of the Fennoscandian Shield
Abstract Biofilm formation is a common adaptation for microbes in energy-limited conditions such as those prevalent in the vast deep terrestrial biosphere. However, due to the low biomass and the inaccessible nature of subsurface groundwaters, the microbial populations and genes involved in its form...
