Mangroves stand out as one of the most diverse and biologically significant natural systems
in the world. Playing critical roles in maintaining the health and productivity of coastal …

Globally, soils and sediments are affected by the bioturbation activities of benthic species.
The consequences of these activities are particularly impactful in intertidal sediment, which …

Diazotrophic microorganisms regulate marine productivity by alleviating nitrogen limitation.
So far chemolithoautotrophic bacteria are widely recognized as the principal diazotrophs in …

The unique positioning of mangrove ecosystems between land and sea makes them vital in
the nitrogen cycle. The role of nitrification in the nitrogen cycle is important to provide …

Background The microbiome plays an important role in biological invasions, since it affects
various interactions between host and environment. However, most studies focus on the …

Introduction The geological isolation, lack of freshwater inputs and specific internal water
circulations make the Red Sea one of the most extreme—and unique—oceans on the …

Micritization is an early diagenetic process that gradually alters primary carbonate sediment
grains through cycles of dissolution and reprecipitation of microcrystalline calcite (micrite) …

This study investigated the influence of Venus clam Cyclina sinensis bioturbation activities
on the total benthic microbial and phosphatase activities and selected sediment properties …

Bioturbation in coastal sediments plays a crucial role in biogeochemical cycling. However, a
key knowledge gap is the extent to which bioturbation influences bacterial community …

Two bacteria, UG2_1T and UG2_2, were isolated from the gill tissues of the mangrove
fiddler crab Cranuca inversa collected on the east coast of the Red Sea (Thuwal, Saudi …
