In deep-sea hydrothermal vents, sulfur compounds are central for microbial bioenergetics. Despite its significant impact on the global sulfur cycle, anaerobic sulfur compound disproportionation remain...
Maintenance of bone function and remodelling is a strictly controlled physiological process that is modulated by bone forming and resorbing, mediated by osteoblasts and osteoclasts respectively. A sig...
Aspertetranones are a unique class of marine fungal meroditerpenoids characterized by a highly oxygenated, linear 6/6/6/6 tetracyclic core fused to an α-pyrone scaffold. Although the pathway of aspert...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
Cellulose derived from ascidians (tunicates) is distinguished from plant-based counterparts by its marine origin, with high crystallinity, and complex hierarchical architecture. However, quantitative ...
Xylophaga dorsalis is a common Atlantic-Mediterranean mollusc that plays a crucial role in deep-sea habitats, where it digests wood that reaches the seabed through a unique symbiosis with specialised ...
Microplastics (MPs) originating from synthetic polymers can act as vectors for harmful microorganisms and pollutants, exacerbating ecological risks. Vibrio harveyi, commonly found in seawater, is a ma...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity monitoring by enabling species detection from microbes to megafauna without direct observation or capture. Yet most marine eDNA collection syst...
Following the ubiquitous autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), heterotrophic representatives of the marine Nitrososphaerota (HMN) form the second most abundant group within this archaeal phylum...
The mesopelagic zone, between 100 and 1000 m depth, contains up to 90% of marine vertebrate biomass. Mesopelagic fishes are key components of these ecosystems through their feeding interactions and pl...
Microbial electrosynthesis is a metabolic process in which extracellular electrons are utilized as the primary energy source for carbon fixation. While microbial electrosynthesis has been proposed as ...
Marine bacteria thrive in oceanic environments and produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) for cell adhesion and survival under extreme marine living conditions. Due to variations in marine extre...
To promote sustainable use of marine resources, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14): Life Below Water aims to alleviate the threats of marine pollution, habitat degradation, un...
The current study assess the degree of pollution in two harbors (Madaia and Saha) located in the southwestern Red Sea, Saudi Arabia with potential impacts on the intervening control coastline. This st...
Since the year 2000, oceanic research has seen a surge in data collection, with approximately 500,000 sets of measurements for a single variable (e.g., temperature) recorded annually. Yet, further adv...
Flagella, the major motility organelles in bacteria, display great diversity and complexity in their motor structures. Aside from the classical model with a simple motor, the functions of the componen...
While CO2 fixation by photo- and chemolithoautotrophs is a central process of the global carbon cycle, many organisms also incorporate inorganic carbon into organic compounds through anaplerotic carbo...
Protein persulfidation, a major post-translational modification mediated by the gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), regulates diverse physiological processes in eukaryotes and bacteria....
Global plastic production surpassed 436 million metric tonnes in 2023, with polyolefins, polyethylene and polypropylene, and polyesters, polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene adipate terephthala...
