A collaboration with the academy results in new scientific article

Deep terrestrial biosphere waters are separated from the light-driven surface by the time required to percolate to the subsurface. Despite biofilms being the dominant form of microbial life in many natural environments, they have received little attention in the oligotrophic and anaerobic waters found in deep bedrock fractures. This study is the first to use community whole genome DNA sequencing to describe biofilm formation under in situ conditions in the deep terrestrial biosphere.
