The Mariana Trench is the deepest known site in Earth's oceans, reaching a depth of ~ 11,000 m at Challenger Deep. Recent studies reveal that hadal waters harbor distinctive microbial planktonic communities. However, genetic potential communities within zone poorly understood. Here, implementing both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, we perform extensive analysis populations their different depths Trench. Unexpectedly, observed an abrupt increase abundance...
Abstract Background Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota , which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive aphotic deep sea with massive populations. Recent studies have revealed that MGI were present deepest part oceans—the hadal zone (depth > 6000 m, consisting almost entirely trenches), predominant phylotype being distinct from “shallower” sea. However, little is known about metabolism distribution these ammonia oxidizers...
The microbial cycling of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and its gaseous catabolites dimethylsulfide (DMS) methanethiol (MeSH) are important processes in the global sulfur cycle, marine food webs, signaling pathways, atmospheric chemistry, potentially climate regulation. Many functional genes have been identified used to study genetic potential microbes produce catabolize these organosulfur compounds different environments. Here, we sampled seawater, sediment hydrothermal sediment,...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of Earth’s most abundant organosulfur molecules. Recently, many marine heterotrophic bacteria were shown to produce DMSP, but few studies have combined culture-dependent and independent techniques study their abundance, distribution, diversity activity in seawater or sediment environments. Here we investigate bacterial DMSP production potential East China Sea (ECS) samples. Total (DMSPt) concentration ECS was highest surface waters (SW) where...
Hadal zones are marine environments deeper than 6,000 m, most of which comprise oceanic trenches. Microbes thriving at such depth experience high hydrostatic pressure and low temperature. The genomic potentials these microbes to extreme largely unknown. Here, we compare five complete genomes bacterial strains belonging Labrenzia aggregata (Alphaproteobacteria), including four from the Mariana Trench depths up 9,600 m one reference surface seawater East China Sea, uncover this species....
Abstract Background: Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota , which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive aphotic deep sea with massive populations. Recent studies have revealed that MGI were present deepest part oceans - hadal zone (depth > 6,000 m, consisting almost entirely trenches), predominant phylotype being distinct from “shallower” sea. However, little is known about metabolism distribution these ammonia oxidizers...
In this study, we studied the effects of different Carbon dioxide concentrations on microbial community diversity in a wetland ecosystem northern China. The open-top chamber (OTC) was situated boggy soil which dominant plant is Deyeuxia angustifolia. Between 2010 and 2013, maintained average concentration OTC at 370 ppm, 550 ppm 700 ppm. Soil samples were collected during last year. Results show that fungal indices 0–10 cm layer significantly decreased by elevated CO2 4.570 ck. It increased...
Candidate phyla radiation (CPR) constitutes a substantial fraction of bacterial diversity, yet their survival strategies and biogeochemical roles in brackish-saline groundwater remain unknown. By reconstructing 399 CPR metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) 2007 non-CPR MAGs, we found that CPR, affiliated with 44 previously proposed 8 putative novel phyla, played crucial maintaining the microbial stability complexity groundwater. Metabolic reconstructions revealed participated diverse...

Saline groundwater is witnessed globally, where various factors can exert complex selective pressure to antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) (i.e., resistome). However, the comprehensive profile of resistome and its determining in saline are poorly understood. This study comparatively investigated dynamics biotic microbiota mobile genetic elements) abiotic water parameters antibiotics) over salinity gradients, further explored their roles shaping resistome. Overall, harbored 166 ARGs...
