With a rich variety of chemical energy sources and steep physical and chemical gradients,
hydrothermal vent systems offer a range of habitats to support microbial life. Cultivation …

Nitrogen species such as ammonia and nitrite are considered as major stressors in modern
aquaculture practices. We developed enrichments of ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) and …

Background Ferromanganese nodule-bearing deep-sea sediments cover vast areas of the
ocean floor, representing a distinctive habitat in the abyss. These sediments harbor unique …

Glacier-fed streams (GFSs) are extreme and rapidly vanishing ecosystems, and yet they
harbor diverse microbial communities. Although our understanding of the GFS microbiome …

With the increasing production of farmed Litopenaeus vannamei, the discharge of culture
sewage and the accumulation of deleterious substances (nitrite, ammonia, sulfide…) in …

The successional ecology of nitrogen cycling in biocrusts and the linkages to ecosystem
processes remains unclear. To explore this, four successional stages of natural biocrust with …

Qinhuangdao coastal area is an important mariculture area in North China. Microbial
communities play an important role in driving biogeochemical cycle and energy flow. It is …

Abstract Bay of Bengal (BoB) has immense significance with respect to ecological diversity
and natural resources. Studies on microbial profiling and their functional significance at …

Ten publicly available metagenomic data sets from hydrothermal vents were analyzed to
determine the taxonomic structure of the viral communities present, as well as their potential …

Background Deep-sea hydrothermal vents represent unique ecosystems that redefine our
understanding of the limits of life. They are widely distributed in deep oceans and typically …
