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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
As a prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulati...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
Oxygen isotope measurements of seawater (δ18Ow) are an important tool in the study of climate, oceanography, and hydrology, both today and in the past. δ18Ow and salinity are controlled by similar hyd...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
The exploration of marine environments is crucial, yet the extreme conditions of the deep-sea, combined with the segregated signal processing in current sensor technologies, lead to bulky systems, hig...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Metagenomic data indicates a higher viral abundance of viruses of unicellular eukaryotes in the polar regions, information still not matched...
Efficient uranium extraction from seawater is a critical challenge in advancing sustainable nuclear energy, given the vast but dilute reserves of uranium in oceans. Here, we report a hierarchically po...
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and provide essential services to coastal economies. However, they are increasingly threatened by different contaminants, such as poly...
The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a key role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and climate, yet microbial genes sustaining its biological activity remain poorly characterized. We introduce a micr...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
