Geomicrobiology

Geomicrobiology is the study of the role of bacteria in the geological and geochemical processes that shaped the earth and that continue to operate today. Bacteria play a vital role in the recycling, production, absorption, and removal of biomarkers by biogeochemical cycles involving the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the deep lithosphere.
