Construction of Aerobic/Anaerobic-Substrate-Induced Gene Expression Procedure for Exploration of Metagenomes From Subseafloor Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Substrate-induced gene expression (SIGEX) is a high-throughput promoter-trap method. It is a function-based metagenomic screening tool that relies on transcriptional activation of a reporter gene green fluorescence protein (gfp) by a metagenomic DNA ...

Bio-Archive Core Storage and Subsampling Procedure for Subseafloor Molecular Biological Research [PDF]

Scientific Drilling, 2009
The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) provides unprecedented opportunities to study the deep subseafloor biosphere. Subseafloor microbes play important roles in biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, metals, and other elements on ...

Genome-wide characterization of laccase gene family in Schizophyllum commune 20R-7-F01, isolated from deep sediment 2 km below the seafloor

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Laccases are ligninolytic enzymes that play a crucial role in various biological processes of filamentous fungi, including fruiting-body formation and lignin degradation.

Automatic Slide-Loader Fluorescence Microscope for Discriminative Enumeration of Subseafloor Life [PDF]

Scientific Drilling, 2010
The marine subsurface environment is considered the potentially largest ecosystem on Earth, harboring one-tenth of all living biota (Whitman et al., 1998) and comprising diverse microbial components (Inagaki et al., 2003, 2006; Teske, 2006; Inagaki and ...

IODP Expedition 329: Life and Habitability Beneath the Seafloor of the South Pacific Gyre [PDF]

Scientific Drilling, 2013
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 329 made major strides toward fulfilling its objectives. Shipboard studies documented (1) fundamental aspects of habitability and life in this very low activity subseafloor sedimentary ecosystem and (2)

Identification of a large mud volcano field in the Hyuga-nada, northern end of the Ryukyu trench, offshore Japan

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
We identified 27 new mud volcanoes, including potential ones, in a part of the Hyuga-nada area, southwest offshore Japan, at the northern end of the Ryukyu Trench, based on subseafloor geological structures using geophysical investigations.

An Improved Method for Extracting Viruses From Sediment: Detection of Far More Viruses in the Subseafloor Than Previously Reported

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and perform essential ecological functions in aquatic environments by mediating biogeochemical cycling and lateral gene transfer.

The subseafloor crustal biosphere: Ocean's hidden biogeochemical reactor. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
Underlying the thick sediment layer in ocean basins, the flow of seawater through the cracked and porous upper igneous crust supports a previously hidden and largely unexplored active subsurface microbial biome. Subseafloor crustal systems offer an enlarged surface area for microbial habitats and prolonged cell residence times, promoting the evolution ...

Radiolytic Hydrogen Production in the Subseafloor Basaltic Aquifer [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Hydrogen (H2) is produced in geological settings by dissociation of water due to radiation from radioactive decay of naturally occurring uranium ((238)U, (235)U), thorium ((232)Th) and potassium ((40)K). To quantify the potential significance of radiolytic H2 as an electron donor for microbes within the South Pacific subseafloor basaltic aquifer, we ...

Subseafloor sulphide deposit formed by pumice replacement mineralisation [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
AbstractSeafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits, modern analogues of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits on land, represent future resources of base and precious metals. Studies of VMS deposits have proposed two emplacement mechanisms for SMS deposits: exhalative deposition on the seafloor and mineral and void space replacement beneath the ...
