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

Disentangling the Functional Role of Fungi in Cold Seep Sediment [PDF]
Cold seeps are biological oases of the deep sea fueled by methane, sulfates, nitrates, and other inorganic sources of energy. Chemolithoautotrophic bacteria and archaea dominate seep sediment, and their diversity and biogeochemical functions are well ...

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

High microeukaryotic diversity in the cold-seep sediment [PDF]
Microeukaryotic diversity, community structure, and their regulating mechanisms remain largely unclear in chemosynthetic ecosystems. Here, using high-throughput sequencing data of 18S rRNA genes, we explored microeukaryotic communities from the Haima ...

Deep-Sea Carbonates Are a Reservoir of Fossil Microbes Previously Inhabiting Cold Seeps
Carbonates are globally distributed particularly around deep-sea cold seeps. The embedded microbes are fossil records of the past bioprocess but metagenomes of the carbonates have not been fully studied.
