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...
Continental slopes, particularly the pockmark and salt diapir regions of the Santos Basin, represent extreme environments characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, elevated salinit...
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...
