There was an Eos article describing a DOE program on the study of bacteria
from deep terrestrial subsurface environments (Vol. 75, no. 34, August 23,
1994). I isolated an iron- and manganese-reducing anaerobic bacterium
from samples obtained from about 2.8-km deep; see the upcoming issue of
the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology (July, 1995).
