<p>The continuous expansion of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) has promoted methane emissions, and the origin fate in semi enclosed OMZs are poorly understood. In this study, we sampled 21 water layers across a 300-m depth Yongle blue hole (YBH) located South China Sea for metagenomics metatranscriptomics work, coupled with data from global anoxic/suboxic columns. The 16S rDNA reads metagenomes indicate high percentages unclassified prokaryotes (on average 38%) microbiome novelty scores...
Sponges are widely distributed in the global ocean and harbor diverse symbiotic microbes with mutualistic relationships. However, sponge symbionts deep sea remain poorly studied at genome level. Here, we report a new glass species of genus Bathydorus provide genome-centric view its microbiome. We obtained 14 high-quality prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) affiliated phyla Nitrososphaerota, Pseudomonadota, Nitrospirota, Bdellovibrionota, SAR324, Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria. In...
Our knowledge on biogeochemistry and microbial ecology of marine blue holes is limited due to challenges in collecting multilayered water column oxycline zones. In this study, we collected samples from 16 layers Yongle hole (YBH) located the South China Sea using situ filtration fixation (ISMIFF) apparatus. The communities based 16S rRNA metagenomic reads for ISMIFF showed high diversity consistency among with similar dissolved oxygen levels. At same depth anoxic layer, were dominated by...
Amphipods are an important group of invertebrates in marine ecosystems due to their high abundance and diversity. As essential part the food web, amphipods play a vital role nutrient recycling provide large amounts detritus-derived fine-particulate organic matter for other invertebrates. Although importance gut microbiota necessity consider them has been increasingly recognized, microbial community diversity have not well studied. Here, we comparatively studied diverse amphipod species...
The Yongle blue hole (YBH), situated in the South China Sea, represents a compelling subject of study marine microbiology due to its unique redox-layered microbial ecosystems. However, diversity and ecology eukaryotes within YBH remains underexplored. This endeavors bridge this gap through application situ filtration fixation (ISMIFF) device collect 0.22–30 μm samples from 21 water layers YBH. Subsequent extraction 18S rRNA metagenomic reads metagenomes 10 metatranscriptomes facilitated...
