A Thermodynamic Analysis of Microbial Surface Chemistry and Metabolic Strategies
Wray, AddienA thorough understanding of microbial life on Earth and effective methods of searching for life beyond Earth require the description of possible interactions between those organisms and their geochemical environments. Such ... -
Investigating the effects of <italic>Bacillus subtilis</italic> endospore surface reactivity on low-temperature aqueous geochemical systems
Harrold, Zoe R.Microbes are a ubiquitous component in water-rock systems including ground and surface waters, soils, mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems, and deep sedimentary basins. Microbial envelopes provide complex organic surfaces ... -
Thermodynamics of Acidophiles: Energetics of microbial growth, response to substrate availability, and interactions with heavy metals
Hart, ChloeChemical and physical properties play a crucial role in the type and efficiency of microbial activity that can be supported within an ecosystem. In return, the presence of microbial activity affects the surrounding ...
