Cave microbiota plays a key role in the genesis processes of underground environments. In fact, they are involved in the biogeochemical cycles, interacting with the rock substrates through both constructive and destructive pathways and contributing to the formation of speleothemes (1), such as vermiculations, still unexplored peculiar sedimentary structures, occurring on the walls of natural or artificial caves (2). Latest researches pointed out microbial evidences supporting their biological origin (3). The goal of the work was to shed light on the geochemical and microbiological characteristics of vermiculations from Pertosa-Auletta Cave (Campania, southern Italy), contributing also to the knowledge of microbial biodiversity of such kar...
