Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique en...
Although nitrogen fixation has recently been recognized in the Arctic Ocean, the biogeographical patterns of diazotrophs in this region remain poorly resolved, leaving a critical gap in understanding ...
Microbially-derived polyketides include some of today's most valuable medicines, yet their discovery has focused on a narrow subset of Earth's microbial biodiversity. Although understudied biomes such...
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...
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...
The use of core scanners to perform X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopic analysis can only obtain the intensities of the target elements, which is not conducive for application in marine geology res...
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...
Deep-sea hard substrates host faunal novelties and distinct evolutionary lineages. However, sessile organisms on rocks are difficult to sample and largely unknown at extreme hadal depths. Here, we rep...
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...
Autumn phytoplankton blooms are increasingly observed in the Arctic Ocean due to more frequent strong wind events over open waters. A recent study on the Chukchi shelf suggested that diatoms in sedime...
