The rare biosphere harbors immense microbial diversity, yet most low-abundance taxa remain uncultured and functionally enigmatic. Here, we isolated strain D14T from deep-sea water, and propose to clas...
Sponges are important members of shallow-water, benthic ecosystems, where they often rely on their microbial symbionts to acquire organic or inorganic carbon. Sponges are also found in the deep sea, h...
Chemosymbiotic bivalves play a fundamental role in deep-sea cold seep and hydrothermal vent ecosystems, where essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are scarce. Whether these biva...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most important organic sulfur compounds in the ocean and plays a key role in polar carbon and sulfur cycles. Sulfitobacter sp. M13, a Gram-negative and ...
Antarctica's remote wilderness is increasingly impacted by human activities such as tourism, scientific research, and historical and contemporary exploitation of marine resources. Despite regulatory m...
Here we report the microbiome composition and lipid (molecular and isotopic) profile of gills from Archivesica sp. Atacama., a new species of deep-sea bivalve family Vesicomyidae collected at 2839 m d...
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...
Petroleum pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, extending its impact to deep-sea environments. Cold seeps represent unique deep-sea ecosystems and are natural hotspots for studyin...
Shewanella sp. FeAMO (=MCCC M27737) and Shewanella sp. JL219SE-S6 (=MCCC M29292) were isolated from hydrothermal sediments from Wocan-1 hydrothermal field (6°22'N, 60°32'E, at a depth of 2995 m) and T...
Naphthopyranones represent a structurally diverse family of fungal polyketides exhibiting a broad range of biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic properties. Despite...
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...
The increasing accumulation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste in the environment poses a growing threat to natural ecosystems due to its resistance to degradation. In this study, bacterial isol...
Marine biofouling remains a persistent global challenge, causing severe deterioration of offshore infrastructures and marine vessels, which results in significant economic losses and ecological concer...
Deep-sea sediments host a rich yet largely unexplored reservoir of microorganisms capable of reductive dehalogenation. However, the activity of dehalogenating consortia is often limited even under car...
Bacterial phase variation enables reversible, locus-specific phenotypic switching, often driven by DNA inversion (invertons). To identify these events, researchers commonly rely on sequencing reads th...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
