Spatial and Temporal Constraints on the Composition of Microbial Communities in Subsurface Boreholes of the Edgar Experimental Mine

ABSTRACT The deep biosphere hosts uniquely adapted microorganisms overcoming geochemical extremes at significant depths within the crust of the Earth. Attention is required to understand the near subsurface and its continuity with surface systems, where numerous novel microbial members with unique p...
