Article Synopsis
- Ferromanganese nodule-bearing deep-sea sediments in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone create a unique habitat for microorganisms, with high iron levels and low degradable nutrients that challenge survival.
- Analysis of seven sediment samples led to the reconstruction of 179 metagenome-assembled genomes, revealing a diverse microbial community primarily classified into 21 bacterial phyla and 1 archaeal phylum, with most remaining unclassified at the species level.
- Microorganisms in these sediments utilize various mechanisms to resist heavy metals and rely on redox reactions to obtain energy, indicating that chemical processes involving metals and sulfur compounds are key survival strategies in this extreme environment.
Two new species of free-living marine nematodes from the South China Sea are described: Gomphionema setiforme sp. nov. from intertidal sediment and Paracomesoma longissimum sp.
