Magnetotactic bacteria, which can align with the Earth's magnetic field, have been discovered in a new location. Previously observed on land and in shallow water, analysis of a hydrothermal vent has ...

A research team led by Prof. QIAN Peiyuan, Head and Chair Professor from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)'s Department of Ocean Science and David von Hansemann Professor of ...

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-series ...

The study of iron-oxidizing bacteria in hydrothermal settings reveals a dynamic interplay between microbial metabolic strategies and geochemical processes. These bacteria, which convert soluble Fe(II) ...

A team of researchers, including a photosynthesis expert from ASU, has found evidence of photosynthesis taking place deep within the Pacific Ocean. The team found a bacterium that is the first ...

A research team has discovered that Gigantopelta snail houses both sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and methane-oxidizing bacteria inside its esophageal gland cells (part of digestive system) as ...
