Microbial mediation of cryptic methane cycle in semiclosed marine water column. In this paper, we show microbial activities and their ecological functions in the Yongle Blue Hole via metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. https://t.co/EgaNS2yvPz

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. 

This deep-sea anglerfish is Chaunacops coloratus, related to one of the new species recently found in Chile on @SchmidtOcean's #SEPacificSeamounts expedition.

The scenes documented on video during the #OctoOdyssey expedition are stunning and informative: octopus nurseries, unexplored seamounts, unexpected geological features, and a high diversity of creatures! Watch the FULL highlight reel in 4K on YouTube: https://t.co/tsNZNRlYZa

A recent discovery of wide distribution of N fixers in cold seeps. Dominant microbial species in the deep-sea cold seeps consume methane and hydrocarbons, and fix N2 at the same time to boost the biosynthesis of proteins. Is this the third environment with abundant diazotrophs?

The V-shaped Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world’s oceans. Using metagenome-assembled genomes this study reveals microorganisms involved in elemental cycling at different distribution between its bottom-axis and slope

Nature Communications published 'Microbiomes in the Challenger Deep sediments' recently. Novelty of the microbiomes in the V-shape deep trench was evaluated and ecological functions and adaptative mechanisms were revealed by multi-omics data.
