As salinity is an important indicator in marine geology, ecology, breeding, and other fields, accurate, rapid, and continuous measurement of salinity is of great significance in marine investigations....
Marine microbiomes play a crucial role in oceanic ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycles, climate regulation, and marine biodiversity. Accurate characterization of these microbial communities r...
Integrating a self-healing function into soft nanorobots composed of polymers can extend their lifespan, particularly in harsh marine environments. While existing strategies have explored dynamic inte...
Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
The growing demand for sustainable biomanufacturing has increased interest in nonfood, low-cost carbon feedstocks, particularly methanol and mannitol, owing to their availability and high energy densi...
Microbial degradation represents a promising remediation strategy for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polycarbonate (PC) microplastics, which have been widely detected in the Haima cold seeps. However, t...
Heterotrophic bacteria process a large fraction of the polysaccharides produced by phytoplankton in the surface ocean. Some of these polysaccharides are taken up by "selfish" bacteria, which bind, par...
Deep-sea mining in polymetallic nodule areas poses significant risks to the marine carbon sink. This study investigated the vertical distribution and three-dimensional fluorescence spectral characteri...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
Microplastics (MPs) originating from synthetic polymers can act as vectors for harmful microorganisms and pollutants, exacerbating ecological risks. Vibrio harveyi, commonly found in seawater, is a ma...
Factors such as high humidity and salinity in the marine environment can accelerate material corrosion and wear. Achieving multiscale synergistic optimization of excellent mechanical and tribological ...
The oxidative enrichment and isotopic fractionation of cerium (Ce) in contact with vernadite (δ-MnO2) serve as a proxy for past redox conditions in both terrestrial and marine environments. However, t...
Global climate change is profoundly altering Arctic marine biodiversity, yet baseline data on fish assemblages in the central Arctic Ocean remain critically scarce. The Chukchi Borderland-a Pacific-At...
"Rotten" sea ice, ice in an advanced stage of melt, represents an important but understudied habitat in the rapidly changing Arctic. As Arctic warming accelerates, this late-season ice type will becom...
Microorganisms dominate life in the hadal zone, yet extreme sampling difficulty and low biomass have precluded characterization of their in situ activities. Here, we analyze microbiome samples collect...
The deep ocean hosts autochthonous pressure-adapted microorganisms that are unique to this environment, as well as allochthonous pressure-sensitive members transported from shallow depths by vertical ...
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 ...
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...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
By tracking the water mass histories of genetic samples, we investigated the biophysical dynamics shaping eukaryotic phytoplankton populations in a nutrient-deplete subtropical gyre, where cyanobacter...
