The deep ocean hosts autochthonous pressure-adapted microorganisms that are unique to this environment, as well as allochthonous pressure-sensitive members transported from shallow depths by vertical ...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
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...
Solar-driven natural seawater overall splitting presents a paradigm-shifting solution for hydrogen production to achieve global decarbonization. Herein, we present a noble-metal-free MnOx(OH)y/GaN nan...
Carnivorous sponge-associated iridovirus (CaSpA-IV) is a recently described virus identified in two deep-sea cladorhizid sponge species from the Gulf of Maine and Baffin Bay. To assess its ecological ...
By tracking the water mass histories of genetic samples, we investigated the biophysical dynamics shaping eukaryotic phytoplankton populations in a nutrient-deplete subtropical gyre, where cyanobacter...
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 ...
Ammonium availability may alter microbial access to persistent dissolved organic matter (DOM), but the response capacity of indigenous deep-water microbial communities remains poorly constrained. We u...
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...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as well as current-use pesticides (CUPs) are considered to be contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but there is limited information that exists a...
The seawater refractive index gradient is a critical optical parameter for characterizing marine environmental dynamics, with significant implications for marine ecology, ocean dynamics, and ocean opt...
A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 502str34T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment. The strain was positive for oxidase, catalase and urea...
Global warming and the resulting surface seawater stratification have led to dominance of small phytoplankton, driving substantial changes in planktonic ecosystem structure. This study investigates th...
Idiomarina sp. D18 is a deep-sea marine bacterium isolated from seawater at a depth of 5069 m in the western Pacific Ocean. The complete genome of strain D18 consists of a circular chromosome of 2,765...
The marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool is one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs and a critical regulator of global carbon flux, yet the microbe-molecule interactions governing it remain lar...
Marine microorganisms are vital to biogeochemical cycles and food web dynamics, with their community structure shaped by environmental factors such as temperature, light, and salinity. While microbial...
Microplastics (MPs) contaminate marine environments from surface waters to deep sediments. Approximately half of global plastic production consists of low-density polymers that should float in seawate...
Microorganism-mineral interaction is crucial for understanding the degradation of organic matter involved in the electron exchange in marine sediments. Widespread metal-reducing bacteria Shewanella sp...
Antimicrobial resistance studies have focused on clinical bacteria, neglecting the role of resistant isolates in natural environments. However, oceans are daily contaminated with high loads of antimic...
