A Thousand Meters Deep: Vertical Profiling of the Subterranean Microbes of Gourgouthakas Cave

2026-03-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Caves represent unique, nutrient-limited windows into the deep biosphere, yet the microbiology of the deep terrestrial subsurface remains remarkably under-explored. In this work, we conducted a rare expedition into Gourgouthakas Cave (Crete, Greece), one of the world’s deepest vertical systems, which had remained untouched by humans for 19 years. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed a high-resolut...
