Chemosynthesis is a metabolic process that transfers carbon to the biosphere using
reduced compounds. It is well recognised that chemosynthesis occurs in much of the ocean …

Background The role of bacterial symbionts that populate octocorals (Cnidaria, Octocorallia)
is still poorly understood. To shed light on their metabolic capacities, we examined 66 high …

In temperate coastal environments, wide fluctuations of biotic and abiotic factors drive
microbiome dynamics. To link recurrent ecological patterns with planktonic microbial …

Carbon cycling by Antarctic microbial plankton is poorly understood but it plays a major role
in CO2 sequestration in the Southern Ocean. We investigated the summer bacterioplankton …

Cold seeps in the deep sea harbor various animals that have adapted to utilize seepage
chemicals with the aid of chemosynthetic microbes that serve as primary producers. Corals …

The deep sea is the largest habitat on our planet, supporting a vast diversity of organisms
which have yet to be fully described. This habitat is punctuated by hydrothermal vents in …

As tick-borne diseases continue to increase across North America, current research strives
to understand how the tick microbiome may affect pathogen acquisition, maintenance, and …

Simple Summary Of all the Arctic seas, the prokaryotic communities of the Barents Sea are
the most affected by climate change and are strongly influenced by microbiota from the …

Unravelling the structure-function variation of phycospheric microorganisms and its
ecological correlation with harmful macroalgal blooms (HMBs) is a challenging research …

Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) have developed distinct ecological strategies to obtain
reduced sulfur compounds for growth. These range from specialists that can only use a …
