Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by microbial biofilms poses significant challenges to industrial systems. MIC and MIC mitigation cost billions of dollars each year in the US alone....
Anaerobic oxidation of methane is a key process reducing methane emissions in oxygen-depleted marine environments such as deep-sea cold seeps. However, the stability and adaptability of microbial inte...
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...
The overexploitation of marine resources by commercial fisheries poses significant threats to marine biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) require urgent protection...
Multi-predator feeding aggregations are common in marine ecosystems and frequently involve seabirds. Often labelled opportunistic 'scroungers', volant seabirds derive diverse benefits from the associa...
We introduce pVR, a topological machine learning framework for alignment-free genomic sequence classification that combines $p$-adic numbers with topological data analysis. Each DNA sequence is encode...
A new genus and species of Clavella-like specimens parasitic on Macrourus holotrachys, previously reported as a host for Clavella adunca, clearly differ from the latter in the position and condition o...
This study provides the first basin-scale assessment of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in zooplankton collected from the central-southern Mediterranean Sea....
Domoic acid (DA) is an important environmental neurotoxin produced by certain types of marine algae and can accumulate in seafood such as anchovies, sardines, and mussels, which are considered healthy...
The European Flat Oyster Ostrea edulis, once widespread across European coastal waters, has experienced severe population declines due to overexploitation, habitat degradation and disease, and is now ...
A new species of Calicotyle (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) is described from three deepwater catshark species (Elasmobranchii: Pentanchidae) collected off Iceland. Calicotyle carmenae n. sp. is diagnosed ...
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...
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...
Today, the sea ice cover is rapidly declining in the Arctic Ocean. While major changes in the Arctic marine ecosystems are starting to appear, the full implication of a changing Arctic ecosystem is no...
The genus Gnathophis differs from other genera of Congridae in having a moderately blunt and rounded tail tip and a slightly hardened tail extremity. The fleshy tip of the snout extends distinctly for...
Deep-sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral op...
Codlets (Bregmacerotidae) play a major role in marine ecology, acting as trophic links between primary consumers and higher predators in mesopelagic communities; however, little information has been a...
This data paper describes a dataset of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from 51 fish specimens obtained from local fish markets in eight coastal localities in Oman and Saud...
Sponges, phylum Porifera, are long-lived and basal-branching metazoans that play important roles in ocean biogeochemistry and host diverse microbial communities. Siliceous sponges form a major clade o...
Bacterial symbiosis is well-documented in chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barco...
