Novel insights into the Thaumarchaeota in the deepest oceans: their metabolism and potential adaptation mechanisms

Microbiome, 2020
Background Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota, which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive in the aphotic deep sea with massive populations.

Microbial community structure in hadal sediments: high similarity along trench axes and strong changes along redox gradients [PDF]

, 2021
Hadal trench sediments are hotspots of biogeochemical activity in the deep sea, but the biogeochemical and ecological factors that shape benthic hadal microbial communities remain unknown.

Shift and Metabolic Potentials of Microbial Eukaryotic Communities Across the Full Depths of the Mariana Trench

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Microbial eukaryotes are widespread and play important roles in marine ecosystems. However, their ecological characteristics in the deep sea (>1,000 m), especially hadal trenches, were largely unknown. Here, we investigated the diversity and metabolic

Exponential growth of hadal science: perspectives and future directions identified using topic modelling [PDF]

, 2022
\ua9 2022 The Author(s).The hadal zone is a cluster of deep-ocean habitats that plunge to depths of 6000-11000 m below sea level. Research of the deepest marine zone has occurred on a disjunct timeline and slower than shallower zones.

Revealing the full biosphere structure and versatile metabolic functions in the deepest ocean sediment of the Challenger Deep

Genome Biology, 2021
Background The full biosphere structure and functional exploration of the microbial communities of the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, the deepest known hadal zone on Earth, lag far behind that of other marine realms.

Hadal Biodiversity, Habitats and Potential Chemosynthesis in the Java Trench, Eastern Indian Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Java Trench is the only subduction trench in the Indian Ocean that extends to the hadal zone (> 6,000 m water depth), and except for sevenbenthic trawls acquired around the 1950s, there has been little to no sampling at hadal depths undertaken ...

Functional effects of the hadal sea cucumber Elpidia atakama (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea, Elasipodida) reflect small-scale patterns of resource availability [PDF]

, 2011
Holothuroidea represent the dominant benthic megafauna in hadal trenches (similar to 6,000-11,000 m), but little is known about their behaviour and functional role at such depths.

Insight Into the Pico- and Nano-Phytoplankton Communities in the Deepest Biosphere, the Mariana Trench

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
As photoautotrophs, phytoplankton are generally present in the euphotic zone of the ocean, however, recently healthy phytoplankton cells were found to be also ubiquitous in the dark deep sea, i.e., at water depths between 2000 and 4000 m.

Deep-sea Bacteroidetes from the Mariana Trench specialize in hemicellulose and pectin degradation typically associated with terrestrial systems

Microbiome, 2023
Background Hadal trenches (>6000 m) are the deepest oceanic regions on Earth and depocenters for organic materials. However, how these enigmatic microbial ecosystems are fueled is largely unknown, particularly the proportional importance of complex ...
