Subsurface Microbiology

Subsurface Microbiology is a branch of microbiology that investigates microbial life inhabiting geological formations beneath the Earth's surface, distinguished by its focus on organisms thriving in deep, oligotrophic, high-pressure, and often anoxic environments where energy sources are limited and metabolic strategies differ from surface ecosystems.
