This project investigates how microorganisms in aquatic sediments reactivate their metabolism after long periods of starvation. By transplanting deep sediment layers to nutrient-rich environments, it studies the physiological and molecular changes that enable these microbes to resume growth, contributing to our underst…
In aquatic sediments microorganisms are gradually buried by newly deposited layers and cut off from their main energy source, organic matter from overlying water or adjacent land.
Yet, large populations of microorganisms are found in buried sediments, living in a state of strongly reduced metabolic activity.
The evolutionary advantages of survival in this dormancy-like state remain unclear and may be related to rare events where buried microorganisms are returned to energy-replete conditions aft…
