The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has created an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics du...
The widespread use of biocides to control biofouling has led to significant marine pollution. Among these, 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) has emerged as a prominent antifouling co...
Echinoderms are found across a wide bathymetric range. Generally, the deep-sea environments remain inaccessible for sampling, however, by-catch serves as an opportunistic source for collecting and stu...
The coupling between ocean and atmosphere across the strong seasonal gradients in the Arctic is poorly understood. Here, we explored the microbial and glycobiological connectivity between the surface ...
N-Acetyl-L-glutamate kinase of Prasinoderma coloniale is an example of an evolutionary hack that allows this alga survival without the protein PII. N-Acetyl-L-glutamate kinase (NAGK) catalyzes the pho...
Microbially mediated manganese (Mn) oxidation is a key process in the biogeochemical cycling of Mn. While Shewanella is widely recognized for its metal-reducing capabilities, recent studies have shown...
Deep-sea extreme environments harbor microorganisms with unique adaptive mechanisms. Fungi play significant ecological roles in these ecosystems, yet the regulatory pathways governing their adaptation...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have drawn global attention and are ubiquitously detected in marine environments. Seamounts, prominent seafloor features with high biodiversity, may be hotspots for ...
Plastic pollution poses a growing threat to marine biodiversity, and its biological effects may vary with particle size. Early life stages of the Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, inhabit c...
The development of supramolecular materials has opened up unprecedented opportunities for smart, responsive systems. Yet, their practical application in extreme environments-deep space, deep sea, pola...
Seafloor litter has become a growing environmental concern to marine ecosystems and coastal economies. To better understand the environmental behavior of seafloor litter, it is important to characteri...
The Central Arctic Ocean is undergoing rapid environmental change associated with sea-ice retreat. The sea-ice bottom and adjacent under-ice waters are key zones for particulate organic matter (POM) a...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are globally recognised as contaminants of emerging concern due to their persistence, toxicity, endocrine-disrupting and immunosuppressive effects. Because o...
Marine oil spills are globally widespread, posing significant threats to marine wildlife. While the spatial and temporal distribution of oil concentrations in the environment can be modeled with high ...
The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
The deep sea is home to a vast and largely unexplored microbial biosphere, along with large amounts of complex organic matter (COM). However, the functional capacity of the deep-sea microbiome to meta...
Deep-sea exploration traditionally focuses on visible animal oases, but extreme pressure in hadal zones (>60 MPa) unlocks metabolic capacities and supports flourishing microbiomes. Beyond the deep sea...
Theory of Mind (ToM) reasoning with Large Language Models (LLMs) requires inferring how people's implicit, evolving beliefs shape what they seek and how they act under uncertainty -- especially in hig...
Cigarette butts (CBs) are among the most pervasive anthropogenic litter globally, posing significant environmental challenges due to their toxic chemical constituents and cellulose acetate filters. In...
Many materials create new habitats for microbial colonization and the persistence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Despite this, comparative studies addressing the microbial diversity and pathogeni...
