Subsurface methanogenic activity in the Iberian Pyrite Belt detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization
Abstract
The IPBSL is a drilling project designed to investigate the subsurface geomicrobiology of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (Southwestern, Spain), a geological and mineralogical terrestrial analogue of Mars. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (CARDFISH) has been used to detect the presence of methanogenic archaea in samples from uncontaminated cores of the IPBSL.
