This project investigates microbial communities in extreme acid environments of terrestrial mud volcanos. It aims to understand their ecological roles in elemental cycling and to isolate unique microorganisms that may offer solutions for environmental challenges.
Terrestrial mud volcanos are extreme environments with pH values below even 1, with temperatures up to 70 ºC.
They represent ‘hotspots’ of greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite the hostile conditions, mud volcanos harbour very unique microbial communities involved in the cycling of elements like carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and nitrogen.
Microbial communities in extreme environments are characterized by low biodiversity and as a consequence serve as good models to study linkages between genomic potenti…
