Global Distribution Patterns of Dark Matter Fungi in Cold Seep: A Metagenomic Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Deep-sea cold seep ecosystems, known for their unique geochemical niches and chemosynthetic communities, harbor numerous “dark matter fungi (DMF)” that remain understudied compared to their bacterial and archaeal counterparts. Integrating 105 metagenomic

Chemosynthetic alphaproteobacterial diazotrophs reside in deep-sea cold-seep bottom waters [PDF]

mSystems
Nitrogen (N)-fixing organisms, also known as diazotrophs, play a crucial role in N-limited ecosystems by controlling the production of bioavailable N. The carbon-dominated cold-seep ecosystems are inherently N-limited, making them hotspots of N fixation.

Microbial Communities in and Around the Siboglinid Tubeworms from the South Yungan East Ridge Cold Seep Offshore Southwestern Taiwan at the Northern South China Sea [PDF]

Microorganisms
To date, only a few microbial community studies of cold seeps at the South China Sea (SCS) have been reported. The cold seep dominated by tubeworms was discovered at South Yungan East Ridge (SYER) offshore southwestern Taiwan by miniROV.

Potential coupling of microbial methane, nitrogen, and sulphur cycling in the Okinawa Trough cold seep sediments [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
The Okinawa Trough (OT) is a back-arc basin with a wide distribution of active cold seep systems. However, our understanding of the metabolic function of microbial communities in the cold seep sediments of the OT remains limited.

Deep-Sea In Situ Insights into the Formation of Zero-Valent Sulfur Driven by a Bacterial Thiosulfate Oxidation Pathway

mBio, 2022
Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) distributes widely in the deep-sea cold seep, which is an important immediate in the sulfur cycle of cold seep. In our previous work, we described a novel thiosulfate oxidation pathway determined by thiosulfate dehydrogenase ...
