The diversification and potential function of microbiome in sediment-water interface of methane seeps in South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology
The sediment-water interfaces of cold seeps play important roles in nutrient transportation between seafloor and deep-water column. Microorganisms are the key actors of biogeochemical processes in this interface.

New nematode species and genera (Nematoda: Chromadorea) from cold seeps on Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
Relatively little is known about the taxonomy and ecology of deep-sea nematode species inhabiting cold seep habitats. The available data show that cold seep nematode communities are typically characterized by low diversity and are often dominated by a ...

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,

Methane‐Driven Arsenic Biogeochemical Cycling in Deep‐Sea Cold Seeps: Implications for Oceanic Arsenic Geochemistry

Geophysical Research Letters
Arsenic accumulation in seafloor cold seeps is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the interplay between arsenic and methane biogeochemical cycles at the Haima cold seep, South China Sea.

Cold Seeps in a Warming Arctic: Insights for Benthic Ecology

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments; one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting the chemical extremes and strong environmental gradients associated ...

Ecology and biogeography of free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea: a review.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundHere, insight is provided into the present knowledge on free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea. It was investigated if the same trends of high standing stock, low diversity, and the dominance of a ...

Insights into prokaryotic communities and their potential functions in biogeochemical cycles in cold seep

mSphere
Microorganisms are significant drivers of organic matter mineralization and are essential in marine biogeochemical cycles. However, the variations and influencing factors in prokaryotic communities from cold-seep sediments to the water column and the ...

An improved chromosome-level genome assembly of a deep-sea limpet (Bathyacmaea lactea). [PDF]

Sci Data
Cold seeps are unique and important deep-sea ecosystems characterized by chemosynthesis. The deep-sea limpet Bathyacmaea lactea is an endemic and ecologically important species inhabiting these extreme environments, representing an ideal model for ...

Dispersion and fate of methane emissions from cold seeps on Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand

Frontiers in Earth Science
The influence of cold seep methane on the surrounding benthos is well-documented but the fate of dissolved methane and its impact on water column biogeochemistry remains less understood.

Unexpected scarcity of ANME archaea in hydrocarbon seeps within Monterey Bay [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Marine hydrocarbon seeps typically harbor a relatively predictable microbiome, including anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea. Here, we sampled two cold seeps in Monterey Bay, CA – Clam Field and Extrovert Cliff – which have been known for decades but
