In terms of volume, deep subsurface settings represent some of the largest microbial habitats on the planet, and the combined biomass of the deep biosphere encompasses the largest living reservoir of carbon, excluding land plants. However, the paleo-record of the deep biosphere is still largely uncharted and neglected. The aim of this book is to highlight current research on deep life through time and bring together researchers with various perspectives. The book presents a collection of scientific contributions that provide a sample of forefront research in this field. The contributions involve a range of case studies of deep ancient life in continental and oceanic settings, of microbial diversity in sub-seafloor environments, and of the isolation of calcifying bacteria, as well as reviews on clay mineralization of fungal biofilms and on the carbon isotope records of the deep biosphere. Deciphering the fossil record of the deep biosphere is a challenging task but, when successful, will unlock doors to life?s cryptic past. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aImpact structure 610 $afungal hyphae 610 $ain situ radiometric dating 610 $asecondary minerals 610 $astable isotopes 610 $asubsurface 610 $asediment 610 $abacteria 610 $aarchaea 610 $adeep biosphere 610 $aclay authigenesis 610 $afossil fungi 610 $aigneous crust 610 $acryptoendoliths 610 $asubseafloor habitats 610 $afossilized microorganisms 610 $aOphiolite 610 $abacterial calcium-carbonate precipitation (BCP) 610 $acalcifying bacteria selection 610 $acalcifying mixed cultures 610 $aImageJ software 610 $aBiolog EcoPlates 610 $asand biocementation 610 $acarbon isotopes 610 $adiagenetic carbonates 610 $amethanogenesis 610 $aanaerobic methane oxidation 610 $aWood?Ljungdahl pathway 610 $ain situ U-Pb geochronology 610 $aCaledonides 610 $adeep drilling (COSC-1) 610 $ageobiology 610 $adeep time 610 $ageochronology 610 $amicroorganisms 610 $aevolution 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aDrake$b Henrik$4edt$01293807 702 $aIvarsson$b Magnus$4edt 702 $aHeim$b Christine$4edt 702 $aDrake$b Henrik$4oth 702 $aIvarsson$b Magnus$4oth 702 $aHeim$b Christine$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557129303321 996 $aTracking the Deep Biosphere through Time$93022732 997 $aUNINA
