A comprehensive genomic catalog from global cold seeps
Scientific 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 ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in

Cold seeps are potential hotspots of deep-sea nitrogen loss driven by microorganisms across 21 phyla
Nature CommunicationsNitrogen 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 ...

Disentangling the Functional Role of Fungi in Cold Seep Sediment
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The challenges we face when analyzing eukaryotic metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data sets have hindered our understanding of cold seep fungi and microbial eukaryotes. This fact does not make the mycobiota any less critical in mediating cold seep biogeochemistry.

Viruses in the sediments around the trenches harbor diverse survival mechanisms
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Deep‐sea trenches are the deepest and most isolated environments in the global ocean but the diversity and adaptation of the viral communities remain poorly characterized. In this study, 5563 viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs) were identified from sediments of the Yap Trench and Western Caroline Basin.
