Carboxylases are among the most important enzymes in nature as they catalyze the fixation of inorganic carbon (CO2), a central step in the global carbon cycle. In addition to their well-known function...
Bacterial adaptation to fluctuations in salinity includes the intracellular accumulation of organic compounds called compatible solutes (CS) such as the amino acid derivatives ectoine and 5-hydroxyect...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments are enriched in transition metals that exert selective pressure on resident microbial communities. Despite the recognized influence of metal toxicity on microbial diver...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
Bacteria are a major component of deep-sea communities. Mesoscale changes were observed in the deep western Mediterranean by analysing deposited DNA in four sediment cores from SE Barcelona, at 1050 m...
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...
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...
