Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are among the most extreme and geochemically dynamic environments on Earth, characterized by steep gradients in temperature and chemical concentration. Alvinocaridid shrimp...
Microbe-mineral interactions play a crucial role in microbial energy conservation and mineral mobilization within deep-sea hydrothermal vents, yet the specific microorganisms involved remain largely u...
It is estimated that millions of species exist in the deep-sea environment, such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, abyssal plains and seamounts, which have yet to be described. Non-invasive biodivers...
The deep sea contains a wealth of potential mineral resources, many of which are being investigated for commercial exploitation. Exploration and technical tests started in the late 1970s with an initi...
Iron is one of the most important elements of the Earth, yet its bioavailability is limited in oceanic environments. In this context, deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems represent one of the major source...
This study compares predicted sulphur metabolism genes across four Acidihalobacter type strains and two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), revealing genomic differences that appear to correspond to ...
Protein persulfidation, a major post-translational modification mediated by the gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), regulates diverse physiological processes in eukaryotes and bacteria....
Larval migration plays an essential role in determining the distribution and evolution of invertebrate animals endemic to hydrothermal vents-disjunct and ephemeral habitats in the deep sea. However, t...
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 methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
We report a draft genome of Bacillus sp. isolated from deep-sea sediment from hydrothermal vents. The genome size is 4.20 Mbp with a %GC content of 43.41. Our results highlight genes related to biofil...
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...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are archetypal chemosynthetic ecosystems, yet the intense geothermal near-infrared (NIR) radiation emitted by black smoker chimneys remains a largely unexplored environment...
Natural products from marine and terrestrial organisms provide an important resource for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Defined as occurring at depths greater than 200 m, most of the ocean, b...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Metagenomic data indicates a higher viral abundance of viruses of unicellular eukaryotes in the polar regions, information still not matched...
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...
