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...
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 ...
This study compares predicted sulphur metabolism genes across four Acidihalobacter type strains and two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), revealing genomic differences that appear to correspond to ...
Sea cucumbers, as typical representatives of deep-sea benthic animals, possess significant scientific and economic importance. This investigation examined the genomic structural characteristics and ge...
Vertically transmitted symbionts experience progressive genome degradation driven by transmission bottlenecks each host generation that reduce genetic diversity and promote fixation of deleterious mut...
Microorganisms dominate life in the hadal zone, yet extreme sampling difficulty and low biomass have precluded characterization of their in situ activities. Here, we analyze microbiome samples collect...
Bacterial adaptation to fluctuations in salinity includes the intracellular accumulation of organic compounds called compatible solutes (CS) such as the amino acid derivatives ectoine and 5-hydroxyect...
Bioluminescence serves important ecological functions in prey capture, predator avoidance, and mate attraction. To investigate the genomic basis of bioluminescence evolution in marine cnidarians, we f...
Halisarca dujardinii is a marine sponge known for its ability to completely regenerate via cell reaggregation. Here we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of H. dujardinii, generated us...
Members of the bacterial family Endozoicomonadaceae are ubiquitous marine symbionts associated with diverse hosts, including corals, sponges, molluscs, and fishes. Despite their ecological pervasivene...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Microbacterium sp. HM-570 (16S rDNA sequence similarity 99.03% with the closest species Microbacterium lacus A5E-52T) is a sponge-associated bacterium isolated from deep-sea sponge, collected at the H...
We report a draft genome of Bacillus sp. isolated from deep-sea sediment from hydrothermal vents. The genome size is 4.20 Mbp with a %GC content of 43.41. Our results highlight genes related to biofil...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
A facultatively anaerobic, thermophilic, Gram-negative bacterium, strain sy37T, isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal field and belonging to the candidate phylum WOR-3, was characterized in detail. Th...
Translational medicine turns underspecified development goals into evidence synthesis that must combine literature, trials, patents, and quantitative multi-omics analysis while preserving identifiers,...
Stenotrophomonas sp. strain WO2 was isolated from deep-sea sediments at the Haima cold seep (South China Sea) using crude oil as the sole carbon source. The draft genome contains 4,772,190 bp with a G...
Microbially-derived polyketides include some of today's most valuable medicines, yet their discovery has focused on a narrow subset of Earth's microbial biodiversity. Although understudied biomes such...
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 ...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
