This study identifies modular contributions of HPF domains to 100S assembly and translational repression using cryo-EM and functional analyses.

This study identifies the Archaeal Ribosome regulatory Complex (ARC) as a dual-factor complex that modulates ribosome hibernation in response to energy status.

This paper isolates a novel bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent and identifies a new anaerobic pathway for n-hexadecane hydroxylation.

The paper isolates the first cultured strain of the deep-branching phylum Candisdatus Bipolaricaulota from a serpentinite-hosted ecosystem and describes its hydrocarbon metabolism and morphology.

This study investigates how deep-sea microbes metabolize complex organic matter across different ecosystems, identifying specialized adaptations in the PVC superphylum for polysaccharide degradation.

The paper characterizes deep-sea viruses, revealing their diversity and role in facilitating host metabolism of complex organic matter through functional gene expression and virus-host interactions.

This study identifies nitrate-driven dark oxygen production pathways in deep-sea microorganisms and links them to early Earth oxygenation and deep-sea ecological processes.
