… Earth’s surface is reconstructed by combining a study of microbial communities (metagenomics) and a chemical … oxygen deep below ground. These archaea fix carbon and nitrogen, but the viruses that infect Altiarchaea cause the cells to burst. This action triggers subsurface carbon cycling, releasing fresh organic carbon which can serve as a …
