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

Phylogenetically and catabolically diverse diazotrophs reside in deep-sea cold seep sediments
Microbially mediated nitrogen cycling in carbon-dominated cold seep environments remains poorly understood. So far anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME-2) and their sulfate-reducing bacterial partners (SEEP-SRB1 clade) have been identified as ...

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.
