The effect of seafloor cold seeps on the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) remains enigmatic. Here we demonstrate substantial enrichments of mercury and methylmercury, along with the presence of microbes capable of metabolizing mercury in sediments of the Haima cold seep, South China Sea, by ...
Leakages of cold, methane-rich fluids from subsurface reservoirs to the sea floor are termed cold seeps. Recent exploration of the deep sea has shed new light on the microbial communities in cold seeps. However, conventional metagenomic methods largely rely on reference databases and neglect the ph...

The previously published δ15N records of bulk sediment organic matter from five active cold seep sites were compiled (Supplementary Data11), including the Napoli and Amsterdam mud volcanoes in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, an oil and gas seep in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, and methane seeps i...
Deep sea cold seep sediments host abundant and diverse microbial populations that significantly influence biogeochemical cycles. While numerous studies have revealed their community structure and functional capabilities, little is known about genetic heterogeneity within species. Here, we examine intraspecies ...

(Additional file 1: Fig. S2). Deep-sea cold seeps are rich in hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas used by resident bacteria to fix carbon and provide essential sugars and amino acids, but this process also generates sulfur that is toxic at high levels [39,40]. The uniqueL. polybranchiata...
The cold-seep facility is led and constructed by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The project, planned for completion within five years, will integrate a deep-sea manned seafloor laboratory with a land-based high-fidelity simulation facility, making it an ...
The deep-sea communities live around methane seeps off New Zealand’s eastern coast, up to 1 kilometre beneath the sea surface. The team of 21 researchers from the US and New Zealand, who spent two weeks exploring the area, have just returned to shore. See video footage recorded by the ...
