Microbial ecology of the world longest orthoquartzite cave (Imawari Yeuta, Venezuela)
This work investigates the microbial ecology of the world's longest quartz-sandstone cave Imawari Yeuta, a study model of the interactions between microorganisms and silica in non-thermal environments due to the presence of an extraordinary amount and diversity of amorphous silica speleothems with possible biogenic origin.
