Complete genome sequence of sp. strain M1, a thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium isolated from a hyperalkaline serpentinizing system, Ney Springs.

We report the full genome sequence of sp. strain M1, isolated from a continental high pH serpentinizing spring in northern California, USA. The 3.

Complete genome sequence of sp. strain S2, a chemolithoheterotroph isolated from a pH 12 serpentinizing system.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence for sp. S2, a sulfur-oxidizing heterotroph isolated from a serpentinizing system in Northern California. The S2 genome is 4.

Determining resident microbial community members and their correlations with geochemistry in a serpentinizing spring.

Terrestrial serpentinizing systems allow us insight into the realm of alkaliphilic microbial communities driven by geology in a way that is frequently more accessible than their deep subsurface or marine counterparts. However, these systems are also marked by geochemical and microbial community variation due to the interactions of serpentinized fluids with host geology and the surface environment. To separate the transient from the endemic microbes in a hyperalkaline environment, we assessed the Ney Springs terrestrial serpentinizing system microbial community and geochemistry at six time points over the span of a year.

Investigation of microbial metabolisms in an extremely high pH marine-like terrestrial serpentinizing system: Ney Springs.

Ney Springs, a continental serpentinizing spring in northern California, has an exceptionally high reported pH (12.4) for a naturally occurring water source. With high conductivity fluids, it is geochemically more akin to marine serpentinizing systems than other terrestrial locations.
