Deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria hold key to understanding nitrous oxide reduction. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 12 / 241212120227.htm ...

A new bacterial species discovered at the deep-sea hydrothermal vent site 'Crab Spa' provides a deeper understanding of bacterial evolution.

Scientists unearth a clue to the molecular mechanisms involved in N 2 O reduction by deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is the third most potent greenhouse gas after carbon ...

Here, we present the results of a comparative bacterial community composition analysis, based on sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The reads were obtained from 16 hydrothermal vent samples from four ...

The deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria had cadmium-containing granules (light spots) that grew bigger and more abundant when exposed to high concentrations of the toxic metal, cadmium.

The study found that vent bacteria frequently lose genes, develop new mutations, or acquire genes from evolutionarily distant sources. That is an advantage when dealing with the steep chemical ...

A series of expeditions to the Logatchev hydrothermal vent field, 9,843 feet (3,000 meters) underwater on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, halfway between the Caribbean and the Cape Verde Islands, recorded ...

Of the 258 viral sequences Wommack’s team recovered from a thermal vent 2,500 m below the ocean surface, about 800 km west of Costa Rica, only a quarter matched known gene sequences.

Scientists unearth a clue to the molecular mechanisms involved in N 2 O reduction by deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria. The research team developed a method that enabled them to analyze time ...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most potent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane. It can also be oxidized by physical processes to form ozone-depleting substances. Atmospheric ...
