Abstract Algae and bacteria have complex intimate interactions in the ocean. Besides mutualism, evolved a variety of molecular-based anti-algal strategies. However, limited by unknown mechanism synthesis action these molecules, strategies their global prevalence remain unknown. Here we identify novel strategy through which marine representative Gammaproteobacteria produced 3,3’,5,5’-tetrabromo-2,2’-biphenyldiol (4-BP), that kills or inhibits diverse phytoplankton inhibiting plastoquinone its...
The rock-hosted subseafloor biosphere provides key insights into the limits and origins of life, yet it remains largely unknown due to limited access. Recently, IODP Expedition 399 provided unprecedented access a 1,268-meter core from upper mantle Atlantis Massif, primarily composed serpentinized harzburgite. abundance composition indigenous organisms, their metabolic capabilities, physiological activity, role serpentinization in sustaining life are critical, unanswered questions. However,...
Inward membrane budding, i.e., the bending of towards cytosol, is essential for forming and maintaining eukaryotic organelles. In eukaryotes, Arf GTPases initiate this inward budding. Our research shows that Asgard archaea genomes encode putative proteins (AArfs). AArfs possess structural elements characteristic their counterparts. When expressed in yeast mammalian cells, some displayed GTP-dependent targeting. vitro, AArf associated with both archaeal membranes. yeast, interacted were...
As photoautotrophs, phytoplankton are generally present in the euphotic zone of ocean, however, recently healthy cells were found to be also ubiquitous dark deep sea, i.e., at water depths between 2000 and 4000 m. The distributions communities much deeper waters, such as hadal zone, unclear. In this study, vertical distribution pico- nano-phytoplankton (PN) from surface 8320 m, including epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, zones, investigated via both 18S p23S rRNA gene analysis...
Abstract Traditional cultivation methods with defined growth media can only isolate and cultivate a small number of microbes. However, much higher microbial diversity has been detected by cultivation-independent tools from range natural ecosystems. These represent large unexplored pool potentially novel taxa. In this study, diffusion-based integrative approach (DICA) was developed to efficiently taxonomic candidates marine sediment. DICA combined newly designed apparatus called “microbial...
Microorganisms, called anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME), can reduce a large amount of greenhouse gas methane and therefore have the potential to cool Earth. We collected nearly all ANMEs genomes in public databases performed comprehensive comparative genomic analysis molecular dating. Our results show that originated late Archaean early Proterozoic eon. During this period time, our planet Earth was experiencing Great Oxygenation Event Huronian Glaciation, dramatic drop Earth's...
Isoprenoids and their derivatives, essential for all cellular life on Earth, are particularly crucial in archaeal membrane lipids, suggesting that biosynthesis pathways have ancient origins play pivotal roles the evolution of early life. Despite eukaryotes, archaea, a few bacterial lineages being known to exclusively use mevalonate (MVA) pathway synthesize isoprenoids, origin evolutionary trajectory MVA remain controversial. Here, we conducted thorough comparison phylogenetic analysis key...
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile bacterium with a subpolar flagellum, designated strain CCMM005T, was isolated from offshore seawater at Qingdao, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that CCMM005T belonged to the genus Salinisphaera and exhibited highest sequence similarity dokdonensis CL-ES53T (96.9 %). It lower similarities (94.9-96.4 %) all other representatives of Salinisphaera. Optimal growth occurred in presence 4 % (w/v) NaCl, 30 °C pH...
Abstract The hypothesis that eukaryotes originated from within the domain Archaea has been strongly supported by recent phylogenomic analyses placing Heimdallarchaeota Asgard superphylum as closest known archaeal sister-group to eukaryotes. At present, only seven phyla are described in superphylum, which limits our understanding of relationship between and archaea, well evolution ecological functions archaea. Here, we describe five novel phylum-level lineages, tentatively named Tyr-, Sigyn-,...
In this study we present the first cultured representative of Candidatus Synoicihabitans genus. The novel strain was isolated from deep-sea sediment collected South China Sea. This is a gram-negative, non-motile, globular-shaped bacterium with light greenish, small and circular colonies. Comparisons 16S rRNA gene sequences LMO-M01T showed less than 93% similarity to its closest members. addition, genome taxonomy analysis revealed that species best classified in genus for which propose name...
