Geomicrobiology Journal is a unified vehicle for research and review
articles in this rapidly growing field. Articles deal with microbial
transformations of materials composing the earth's crust, including
oceans, seas, lakes, bottom sediments, soils, mineral deposits, and rocks,
and the geological impact these transformations have at present or have
had over geologic time. In this context, the functions of bacteria,
yeast's, fungi, microalgae, protozoans and related micro-organisms as
geomechanical or geochemical agents are examined.

Articles may stress the nature of specific micro-organisms and their
activity in a geomicrobial context, or the geological consequences of
geomicrobial activity. The journal covers basic topics such as microbial
weathering of rocks, microbial roles in formation and degradation of
specific minerals, mineralization of organic matter, subsurface
microbiology, biogeochemical cycling of elements, isotopic fractionation
and paleomicrobiology, and applied topics such as fossil fuel
microbiology, the microbiology involved in bioleaching of ores,
geomicrobiological prospecting, and ground water microbiology. Topics on
molecular applications and nano- and microscale phenomena are also
covered.

Available by subscription only.
