Comparison of prokaryotes between Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench [PDF]
Microbiome, 2022 Background Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench represent the highest and deepest places on Earth, respectively. They are geographically separated, with distinct extreme environmental parameters that provide unique habitats for prokaryotes. Comparison of

Depth shapes microbiome assembly and network stability in the Mariana Trench [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe Mariana Trench, a stable marine ecosystem minimally impacted by human activities, has the greatest vertical depth in the ocean. Depth gradients profoundly influence the physical, chemical, and biotic conditions in the deep oceans.

Methylmercury produced in upper oceans accumulates in deep Mariana Trench fauna [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractMonomethylmercury (MMHg) is a potent toxin that bioaccumulates and magnifies in marine food webs. Recent studies show abundant methylated Hg in deep oceans (>1000 m), yet its origin remains uncertain. Here we measured Hg isotope compositions in fauna and surface sediments from the Mariana Trench.

Novel Viral Communities Potentially Assisting in Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Metabolism in the Upper Slope Sediments of Mariana Trench [PDF]
mSystems, 2022 Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans. Even in the deep sediments of the Mariana Trench, viruses have high productivity. However, little is known about their species composition and survival strategies in that environment.

Influence of Extremely High Pressure and Oxygen on Hydrocarbon-Enriched Microbial Communities in Sediments from the Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Recent studies reported that highly abundant alkane content exists in the ~11,000 m sediment of the Mariana Trench, and a few key alkane-degrading bacteria were identified in the Mariana Trench.

A new species of Princaxelia from Shinkai Seep Field, Mariana Trench (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Pardaliscidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 A new pardaliscid amphipod, Princaxelia marianaensis sp. nov., is described from a single female captured at the Shinkai Seep Field, Mariana Trench, from a depth of 5,689–5,683 m. A key to species of Princaxelia is provided.

Microbial Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Cycling in Deep Sediment of the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023 Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an abundant organosulfur molecule in the ocean and is the precursor for the climate-active volatile gas dimethyl sulfide. Previous studies focused mainly on bacterial DMSP cycling in seawater, coastal sediment, and surface trench sediment samples, but DMSP metabolism in the Mariana Trench (MT) subseafloor sediments ...

Composition and Ecological Roles of the Core Microbiome along the Abyssal-Hadal Transition Zone Sediments of the Mariana Trench [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The unique geological features of hadal trenches are known to influence both the structure and ecological function of microbial communities. It is also well known that heterotrophs and chemoautotrophs dominate the hadal and abyssal pelagic zones ...
