Feast and famine — microbial life in the deep-sea bed (2007, background): “How is it possible to maintain complex functions in microbial cells at an energy flux that barely allows cell growth over tens to thousands of years? Price and Sower”
The Role of Exopolymers in Microbial Adaptation to Sea Ice (2008, background): “At the same time, biological processes involved in cellular repair are slowed by subfreezing temperature ( Price and Sowers 2004 ), presenting a conundrum to microbes restricted to ice.”
Cheaters, diffusion and nutrients constrain decomposition by microbial enzymes in spatially structured environments (2005, result): “This metabolic rate is c. 10 times higher than the range reported by Price & Sowers (2004) because I assumed that actively growing 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS microbes would require more energy for maintenance metabolism.”
Opinion: Adaptations to energy stress dictate the ecology and evolution of the Archaea (2007, background): “ME defines the minimum energetic flux from catabolism that is necessary to maintain cellular activity and is distinct from the energy required for growth or for surviva”
Sedimentary membrane lipids recycled by deep-sea benthic archaea (2010, background): “It has been estimated that the metabolic energy required for growth of microbial cell is six orders of magnitude larger than that needed for surviva”
Biological energy requirements as quantitative boundary conditions for life in the subsurface (2004, background): “The clearest example is that of temperature, which is observed to significantly affect maintenance energies in both culture-based (Tijhuis et al., 1993) and natural systems (Price & Sowers, 2004).”
The Messinian Salinity Crisis from mega-deposits to microbiology – A consensus report (2008, methodology): “The metabolic rates needed to repair macromolecules may be much lower in salt-saturated fluid inclusions than in the deep-subsurface environments used in the calculation above, in the same way that lower rates are needed (and found) as the temperature of the environment decreases (Price and Sowers, ”
Microbial seed banks: the ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy (2011, background): “For example, the metabolic demands for maintenance are approximately three orders of magnitude higher than the demands for survival in a dormant stat”
Bacterial Extracellular Enzymatic Activity in Globally Changing Aquatic Ecosystems (2010, background): “Without the interference of other environment factors, increases in temperature should, within limits, result in increased enzymatic activity [107].”
