Sulfur-cycling chemolithoautotrophic microbial community dominates a cold, anoxic, hypersaline Arctic spring
Background Gypsum Hill Spring, located in Nunavut in the Canadian High Arctic, is a rare example of a cold saline spring arising through thick permafrost. It perennially discharges cold (similar to 7 degrees C), hypersaline (7-8% salinity), anoxic (similar ...
BMC2023Active anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfur disproportionation in the deep terrestrial subsurface
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian
Microbial life is widespread in the terrestrial subsurface and present down to several kilometers depth, but the energy sources that fuel metabolism in deep oligotrophic and anoxic environments remain unclear. In the deep crystalline bedrock of the Fennosc ...
2022Active lithoautotrophic and methane-oxidizing microbial community in an anoxic, sub-zero, and hypersaline High Arctic spring
Lost Hammer Spring, located in the High Arctic of Nunavut, Canada, is one of the coldest and saltiest terrestrial springs discovered to date. It perennially discharges anoxic (
2022Meta-omics-aided isolation of an elusive anaerobic arsenic-methylating soil bacterium
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Nicolas Louis Maurice Jacquemin, Matthew Charles Reid, Jiangtao Qiao
Soil microbiomes harbor unparalleled functional and phylogenetic diversity and are sources of novel metabolisms. However, extracting isolates with a targeted function from complex microbiomes is not straightforward, particularly if the associated phenotype ...
2022Insights into the microbial reduction of pentavalent and hexavalent uranium species by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1
Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas
Decades of uranium-related activities such as ore mining, nuclear power generation, weapon manufacture, storage of nuclear wastes, have contributed to the release of U in the environment. U occurrence is concerning, since in surface environments, U is typi ...
EPFL2021Active sulfur cycling in the terrestrial deep subsurface
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian
The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological repository is under construction for the final storage of spent nuclear fuel. It is th ...
2020In Situ Biostimulation of Cr(VI) Reduction in a Fast-Flowing Oxic Aquifer
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Daniel Scott Alessi
Hexavalent chromium is among the most common and hazardous inorganic contaminants in soils and groundwater. A promising in situ bioremediation approach is the delivery of electron donors to stimulate microbially mediated Cr(VI) reduction, producing relativ ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Methylation of arsenic by single-species and soil-derived microbial cultures
Arsenic (As) is simultaneously a ubiquitous and a toxic element. Arsenic is subject to bio-transformations catalyzed by microorganisms constituting the As biogeochemical cycle. The primordial Earth was devoid of oxygen, exposing life to the highly mobile a ...
EPFL2020A modeling approach integrating microbial activity, mass transfer, and geochemical processes to interpret biological assays: An example for PCE degradation in a multi-phase batch setup
Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray
The rate at which organic contaminants can be degraded in aquatic environments is not only dependent upon specific degrading bacteria, but also upon the composition of the microbial community, mass transfer of the contaminant, and abiotic processes that oc ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019As release under the microbial sulfate reduction during redox oscillations in the upper Mekong delta aquifers, Vietnam: A mechanistic study
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Laurent Louis José Charlet
The impact of seasonal fluctuations linked to monsoon and irrigation generates redox oscillations in the subsurface, influencing the release of arsenic (As) in aquifers. Here, the biogeochemical control on As mobility was investigated in batch experiments ...
