PNNL is home to the CCMEE (Culture Collection of Microorganisms from Extreme Environments), a unique microbial extremophile culture collection. The CCMEE was transferred to EMSL from the University…

Carbon Sequestration Beneath the Active Zone of the Rhizosphere: Insights from Extremophile Ecosystems

Lead Institution

Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Sherry Cady

To better understand the ultimate fate of carbon sequestered in the subsurface, we are studying carbon sequestration mechanisms in mineralizing extremophile environments. Such ecosystems provide an…
