The paper investigates anaerobic methane oxidation in the Orca Basin, identifying ANME-2a's role at high salinity and revealing microbial communities involved in methane cycling.

The paper presents deeply-sequenced metagenomes and over 1000 draft genomes from the deep ocean to study microbial communities across depth gradients.

This study identifies widespread and diverse deep-sea chemoautotrophs beyond nitrifiers, revealing their genetic potential for carbon fixation and impact on the carbon cycle.

The paper analyzes metagenomic data to show that rubisco-encoding organisms, particularly from SAR324 and gammaproteobacteria, dominate carbon fixation potential in the dark ocean.

This study shows urea is a major nitrogen source for deep-sea microbes and supports nitrification, fueling chemoautotrophy in the dark ocean.
