Fungi are ubiquitous in the ocean and hypothesized to be important members of marine
ecosystems, but their roles in the marine carbon cycle are poorly understood. Here, we use …

Fungal contributions to ecosystem processes are well documented for terrestrial systems yet
oceans, which account for most of the Earth's surface, have remained poorly explored with …

Fungi are a highly diverse group of microbes that fundamentally influence the
biogeochemistry of the biosphere, but we currently know little about the diversity and …

Fungi contribute substantially to biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial and marine habitats by
decomposing matter and recycling nutrients. Yet, the diversity of their planktonic forms in the …

Marinimicrobia bacteria are widespread in subeuphotic areas of the oceans and particularly
abundant in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Information on Marinimicrobia metabolism is …

Abyssal microbes drive biogeochemical cycles, regulate fluxes of energy and contribute to
organic carbon production and remineralization. Therefore, characterizing the spatial …

While the field of microbial biogeography has largely focused on the contributions of abiotic
factors to community patterns, the potential influence of biotic interactions in structuring …

The deep sedimentary biosphere, extending 100s of meters below the seafloor harbors
unexpected diversity of Bacteria, Archaea, and microbial eukaryotes. Far less is known …

Microbial ecology within oligotrophic marine sediment is poorly understood, yet is critical for
understanding geochemical cycles. Here, 16S rRNA sequences from RNA and DNA inform …

ABSTRACT The South Pacific Gyre (SPG) possesses the lowest rates of sedimentation,
surface chlorophyll concentration, and primary productivity in the global oceans. As a direct …
