Densely populated biofilms and linked iron and sulfur cycles in the fractured-rock continental subsurface

The deep continental biosphere is supported by chemolithoautotrophy and depends on rock-derived substrates for energy. The majority of microorganisms in these crustal environments are likely attached to mineral surfaces within rock fractures, making characterization of deep life challenging. To bett...
