Bacterial Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Cave Environments: A Function of Calcium Homeostasis (2010, background): “Through our microbiology studies in caves, we commonly identify such ‘surface irregularities’ as microbial colonies; SEM examination of these colonies often reveals CaCO3 crystal deposition on the surface of the bacterial cells (Barton and Northup 2007).”
Microbial Diversity of Cave Ecosystems (2010, background): “Because there have been several recent reviews describing the geomicrobiology of caves (e.g., Northup and Lavoie 2001; Barton and Northup 2007), the roles of microbes in geologic and geochemical subsurface karst processes will be briefly highlighted.”
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).”
Early life on land and the first terrestrial ecosystems (2013, background): “The underground realm (geothermal veins, aquifers, soil subsurface, all types of caves) should also be considered potential continental habitats for early terrestrial life, as life is abundant there today (e.g., Ghiorse and Wilson 1988; Barton and Northup 2007; Engel 2010).”
Processes of carbonate precipitation in modern microbial mats (2009, background): “Terrestrial microbialites also form in various terrestrial environments, including soils, caves (Verrecchia and Verrechia, 1994; Loisy et al., 1999; Canaveras et al., 2006; Barton and Northup, 2007; Belnap and Lange, 2001), and are especially well-studied in desert soils (Verrecchia et al.”
