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 ...

Microbial Communities Under Distinct Thermal and Geochemical Regimes in Axial and Off-Axis Sediments of Guaymas Basin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents are seafloor habitats fueled by subsurface energy sources. Both habitat types coexist in Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California, providing an opportunity to compare microbial communities with distinct physiologies ...

Nitrogen and sulfur cycling driven by Campylobacterota in the sediment–water interface of deep-sea cold seep: a case in the South China Sea

mBio, 2023
Chemoautotrophs within Campylobacterota, especially Sulfurovum and Sulfurimonas, are abundant in the seawater–sediment interface of the Formosa cold seep in the South China Sea.

Phylogenetic diversity of functional genes in deep-sea cold seeps: a novel perspective on metagenomics

Microbiome, 2023
Background Leakages of cold, methane-rich fluids from subsurface reservoirs to the sea floor are termed cold seeps. Recent exploration of the deep sea has shed new light on the microbial communities in cold seeps.

Microbial communities and mineral assemblages in sediments from various habitats at the Haima Cold Seep, South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Cold seeps create diverse habitats in the deep sea and play an important role in the global carbon cycling. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and biogenic mineralization are essential carbon pathways of methane and carbon transformation in cold seeps,

Riddles of Lost City: Chemotrophic Prokaryotes Drives Carbon, Sulfur, and Nitrogen Cycling at an Extinct Cold Seep, South China Sea

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Deep-sea cold seeps are one of the most productive ecosystems that sustained by hydrocarbons carried by the fluid. Once the seep fluid ceases, the thriving autotrophic communities die out, terming as the extinct seep.

Bacteria and Archaea Synergistically Convert Glycine Betaine to Biogenic Methane in the Formosa Cold Seep of the South China Sea

mSystems, 2021
Cold seeps are globally widespread seafloor ecosystems that feature abundant methane production and flourishing chemotrophic benthic communities. Chemical evidence indicates that cold seep methane is largely biogenic; however, the primary methane ...
