Comparison of prokaryotes between Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
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

Influence of Extremely High Pressure and Oxygen on Hydrocarbon-Enriched Microbial Communities in Sediments from the Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench. [PDF]
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.

Depth shapes microbiome assembly and network stability in the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
The 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.

Composition and Ecological Roles of the Core Microbiome along the Abyssal-Hadal Transition Zone Sediments of the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
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 ...

Spatial variation and metabolic diversity of microbial communities in the surface sediments of the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
Mariana Trench represents the deepest and one of least explored biosphere on Earth, and its carbon sources include euphotic sinking, lateral transportation and diffusion from underlying crust, etc. By far the spatial variation of microbial community with

Alkane degradation mechanism of <i>Mixta calida</i> HXX308 isolated from sediment of the Mariana Trench. [PDF]
The Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest site in the ocean, contains rich deposits of n-alkanes in its sediments. However, the alkane metabolic processes of the bacteria in this extreme environment were not well understood. In this
