| Popis: | Cave environments host diverse microorganisms and they are sites of active mineral precipitation. The subject matter of cave geomicrobiology deals with the interactions of microbes with minerals present in caves. Microbes and their metabolisms are important drivers of biogeochemical processes. Several microorganisms have been identified in caves such as- Actinobacteria sp., Leptothrix sp., Myxobacteria sp., Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp. etc. (Cañaveras et al., 2001; Northup et al., 2011; Baskar et al., 2012, 2016) of which some are useful in biorestoration applications. |
