Microscopic fungi isolated from the Domica Cave system (Slovak Karst National Park, Slovakia). A review (2009, background): “…various theories about vermiculation origin as well as participation in the processes of development of these formations on cave walls and speleothems were published (Anelli & Graniti., 1967; Bini et al., 1978; Northup et al., 2000; Northup & Lavoie, 2001; Barton, 2006; Barton & Northup, 2007).”
Microbial Diversity in Caves (2016, background): “…primary organic matter is produced by chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms, which derive energy from binding not only hydrogen, nitrogen, or volatile organic compounds, but also from oxidation of reduced metal ions (e.g., manganese, iron) present in the rocks (Gadd 2010; Northup and Lavoie 2001).”
LAMPENFLORA ALGAE AND METHODS OF GROWTH CONTROL (2009, background): “Manganese oxide deposits are listed among cave minerals of predominantly microbial origin (Northup and Lavoie, 2001; Spilde et al., 2005).”
Bacterial biomineralization: new insights from Myxococcus-induced mineral precipitation (2010, background): “Bacterial mineralization of other metal oxides such as Mn, has also been reported (Fortin et al. 1998; Northup & Lavoie 2001).”
Biomediated Precipitation of Calcium Carbonate Metastable Phases in Hypogean Environments: A Short Review (2003, background): “In comparison with other environments, there are relatively few geomicrobiological studies dealing with hypogean environments (Northup et al. 1997; Northup and Lavoie 2001).”
Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Archaea and Bacteria in Wind Cave, South Dakota (2004, background): “Several Proteobacterial phylotypes related to iron- and manganese-oxide accumulating bacteria have been found in caves (Northup and Lavoie 2001), however no phylotypes related to these functional groups were detected in Wind Cave.”
GEOMICROBIOLOGY IN CAVE ENVIRONMENTS: PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES (2007, methodology): “In creating a comprehensive review of the advances in cave geomicrobiology, we have built upon the earlier reviews (Northup and Lavoie, 2001; Northup et al., 1997) and have chosen to use the Karst Waters Institute Breakthroughs in Karst Geomicrobiology and Redox Geochemistry conference in 1994…”
