Mapping the microbial diversity associated with different geochemical regimes in the shallow-water hydrothermal vents of the Aeolian archipelago, Italy [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Shallow-water hydrothermal vents are unique marine environments ubiquitous along the coast of volcanically active regions of the planet. In contrast to their deep-sea counterparts, primary production at shallow-water vents relies on both photoautotrophy ...

Hydrodynamic flow and benthic boundary layer interactions shape the microbial community in Milos shallow water hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
In shallow-water hydrothermal vents, the dynamic interface between the discharged reduced hydrothermal fluids and the oxidized seawater allows the establishment of gradients capable of supporting diverse and complex microbial mats.

Perturbations in Microbial Communities at Hydrothermal Vents of Panarea Island (Aeolian Islands, Italy) [PDF]

open access: yesBiology
Marine hydrothermal ecosystems represent extreme environments connected to submarine volcanic areas characterized by vents, having high temperatures and particular chemical compositions.

Metabolic and population profiles of active subseafloor autotrophs in young oceanic crust at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology
At deep-sea hydrothermal vents, magmatically driven rock-water reactions in the crust generate gases and other reduced compounds that subseafloor microorganisms use for chemolithoautotrophy.

Sill swarms and hydrothermal vents in the Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2022
Sills and hydrothermal vents are commonly observed in sedimentary basins. However, not all sills could generate overlying hydrothermal vents, and whether a sill generates a hydrothermal vent or not is still poorly constrained.

Fauna of the Kemp Caldera and its upper bathyal hydrothermal vents (South Sandwich Arc, Antarctica) [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Faunal assemblages at hydrothermal vents associated with island-arc volcanism are less well known than those at vents on mid-ocean ridges and back-arc spreading centres.

Geochemical Analogy Viscosity of Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt as an Indicator for Determining the Location of Seafloor Hydrothermal Fields?

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Many achievements have been made in the exploration of seafloor polymetallic hydrothermal vents, however, it needs to further study how to discovery more potential new hydrothermal or massive sulfide fields. In this study, we collected 9818 major-element

Can Marine Hydrothermal Vents Be Used as Natural Laboratories to Study Global Change Effects on Zooplankton in a Future Ocean?

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
It is claimed that oceanic hydrothermal vents (HVs), particularly the shallow water ones, offer particular advantages to better understand the effects of future climate and other global change on oceanic biota. Marine hydrothermal vents (HVs) are extreme

Towards a global strategy for the conservation of deep-sea active hydrothermal vents

open access: yesnpj Ocean Sustainability, 2023
Deep-sea active hydrothermal vents are globally diverse, vulnerable, rare, remote, and isolated habitats, yet they face increasing threats from human activities, including deep-sea mining. To address the conservation challenges surrounding these habitats,

Genome Study of α-, β-, and γ-Carbonic Anhydrases from the Thermophilic Microbiome of Marine Hydrothermal Vent Ecosystems

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are metalloenzymes that can help organisms survive in hydrothermal vents by hydrating carbon dioxide (CO2). In this study, we focus on alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ) CAs, which are present in the thermophilic microbiome of ...
