A Fungal-Prokaryotic Consortium at the Basalt-Zeolite Interface in Subseafloor Igneous Crust.
We have after half a century of coordinated scientific drilling gained insight into Earth´s largest microbial habitat, the subseafloor igneous crust, but still lack substantial understanding regarding its abundance, diversity and ecology. Here we describe a fossilized microbial consortium of prokaryotes and fungi at the basalt-zeolite interface of fractured subseafloor basalts from a depth of 2...
متن کاملEastern Indian 3800-million-year-old crust and early mantle differentiation.
Samarium-neodymium data for nine granitic and tonalite gneisses occurring as remnants within the Singhbhum granite batholith in eastern India define an isochron of age 3775 +/- 89 x 10(6) years with an initial (143)Nd/(144)Nd ratio of 0.50798 +/- 0.00007. This age contrasts with the rubidium-strontium age of 3200 x 10(6) years for the same suite of rocks. On the basis of the new samarium-neodyn...

متن کاملThriving Microbial Life in Ancient Groundwater Deep Inside Earth’s Crust
Did you know that the earth beneath your feet is teeming with life? Imagine yourself standing outside. If you started digging, at some point beneath the soil you would eventually hit hard rock—that is the bedrock forming the Earth’s crust. Even this seemingly solid material has cracks and pores that contain groundwater (water that is held in the ground), and where there is water, there can be l...
متن کاملA Thirty Million Year-Old Inherited Heteroplasmy
Due to essentially maternal inheritance and a bottleneck effect during early oogenesis, newly arising mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations segregate rapidly in metazoan female germlines. Consequently, heteroplasmy (i.e. the mixture of mtDNA genotypes within an organism) is generally resolved to homoplasmy within a few generations. Here, we report an exceptional transpecific heteroplasmy (predict...
