The Impact of Host Rock Geochemistry on Bacterial Community Structure in Oligotrophic Cave Environments.
Despite extremely starved conditions, caves contain surprisingly diverse microbial communities. Our research is geared toward understanding what ecosystems drivers are responsible for this high diversity. To asses the effect of rock fabric and mineralogy, we carried out a comparative geomicrobiology...
