A comprehensive genomic catalog from global cold seeps. [PDF]

Sci Data, 2023
AbstractCold seeps harbor abundant and diverse microbes with tremendous potential for biological applications and that have a significant influence on biogeochemical cycles. Although recent metagenomic studies have expanded our understanding of the community and function of seep microorganisms, knowledge of the diversity and genetic repertoire of ...

A New Method for Training CycleGAN to Enhance Images of Cold Seeps in the Qiongdongnan Sea. [PDF]

Sensors (Basel), 2023
Clear underwater images can help researchers detect cold seeps, gas hydrates, and biological resources. However, the quality of these images suffers from nonuniform lighting, a limited range of visibility, and unwanted signals.

Active pathways of anaerobic methane oxidization in deep-sea cold seeps of the South China Sea. [PDF]

Microbiol Spectr, 2023
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling methane emissions from deep-sea cold seeps. Microbial groups associated with different AOM processes have been briefly investigated, but the AOM activities associated with the utilization ...

Biogeographic distributions of microbial communities associated with anaerobic methane oxidation in the surface sediments of deep-sea cold seeps in the South China Sea. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2022
Cold seeps are oasis for the microbes in the deep-sea ecosystems, and various cold seeps are located along the northern slope of the South China Sea (SCS).

Microbial Eukaryotes Associated With Sediments in Deep-Sea Cold Seeps. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2021
Microbial eukaryotes are key components of the marine food web, but their distribution in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems has not been well studied. Here, high-throughput sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene and network analysis were applied to investigate

Cold seeps are potential hotspots of deep-sea nitrogen loss driven by microorganisms across 21 phyla. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Nitrogen bioavailability, governed by fixation and loss processes, is crucial for oceanic productivity and global biogeochemical cycles. The key nitrogen loss organisms—denitrifiers and anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria—remain poorly ...

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

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.

Efficiency and adaptability of the benthic methane filter at Quepos Slide cold seeps, offshore Costa Rica [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Large amounts of methane are delivered by fluids through the erosive forearc of the convergent margin offshore Costa Rica and lead to the formation of cold seeps at the sediment surface.

Evidence of microbial reductive dehalogenation in deep-sea cold seeps and its implications for biogeochemical cycles. [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Reductive dehalogenation is crucial for halogen cycling and environmental remediation, yet its ecological role is not completely understood, especially in deep-sea environments. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and expression

Transcriptomic analysis reveals insights into deep-sea adaptations of the dominant species, Shinkaia crosnieri (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura), inhabiting both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are typical deep-sea chemosynthetically-driven ecosystems that allow high abundance of specialized macro-benthos.
