Prokaryotic responses to hydrostatic pressure in the ocean–a review
C Tamburini, M Boutrif, M Garel… - Environmental …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Effects of hydrostatic pressure on pure cultures of prokaryotes have been studied
extensively but impacts at the community level in the ocean are less well defined. Here we …

Assessing the apparent imbalance between geochemical and biochemical indicators of meso-and bathypelagic biological activity: What the@ $♯! is wrong with …
Metabolic activity in the water column below the euphotic zone is ultimately fuelled by the
vertical flux of organic material from the surface. Over time, the deep ocean is presumably at …

Pressure as an environmental parameter for microbial life—a review
Microbial life has been prevailing in the biosphere for the last 3.8 Ga at least. Throughout
most of the Earth's history it has experienced a range of pressures; both dynamic pressure …

Contribution of crenarchaeal autotrophic ammonia oxidizers to the dark primary production in Tyrrhenian deep waters (Central Mediterranean Sea)
Mesophilic Crenarchaeota have recently been thought to be significant contributors to
nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycling. In this study, we examined the vertical distribution of …
