Water from The Cedars springs that discharge from serpentinized ultramafic rocks feature highly basic (pH=similar to 12), highly reducing (E-h<-550 mV) conditions with low ionic concentrations. These conditions make the springs exceptionally ch...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are one of the bioelectrochemical systems that exploit microorganisms as biocatalysts to degrade organic matters and recover energy as electric power. Here, we explored how the established electrogenic microbial communi...

The conceptual model of Cabeco de Vide mineral waters, issuing at the contact metamorphism zone developed by the local mafic/ultramafic pluton, is described. These mineral waters discharge with a temperature between 17 and 20 degrees C, show a ver...

Present-day serpentinization generates groundwaters with conditions (pH> 11, Eh< -550 mV) favorable for the microbial and abiotic production of organic compounds from inorganic precursors. Elevated concentrations of methane, C-2-C-6 alkanes,...
