Microbial Community in Hyperalkaline Steel Slag-Fill Emulates Serpentinizing Springs

To date, a majority of studies of microbial life in hyperalkaline settings focus on environments that are also highly saline (haloalkaline). Haloalkaline conditions offer microbes abundant workarounds to maintain pH homeostasis, as salt ions can be exchanged for protons by dedicated antiporter prote...
