This project investigates the role of benthic archaea in the carbon cycle and deep biosphere, focusing on their unique adaptations to extreme environments. It combines biogeochemistry, earth sciences, and microbiology to understand these organisms' contributions to nutrient cycling and greenhouse gas regulation.
Archaea are increasingly recognized as globally abundant organisms that mediate important processes controlling greenhouse gases and nutrients.
Our latest work, published in PNAS and Nature, suggests that Archaea dominate the biomass in the subseafloor.
Their unique ability to cope with extreme energy starvation appears to be a selecting factor.
Marine sediments are of crucial importance to the redox balance and climate of our planet but the regulating role of the deep biosphere remains one of t…
