Synopsis of recent research by authors named "ChaoLun Li"
Chaolun Li's recent research focuses on the interactions between microbial communities and environmental factors in deep-sea ecosystems, including their roles in biogeochemical cycles, particularly nitrogen and sulfur cycling in cold seep environments.
His studies also investigate adaptive responses of marine organisms, such as deep-sea mussels, to extreme conditions like high hydrostatic pressure and metal pollution, employing transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to elucidate these mechanisms.
Additionally, Li examines the use of novel techniques, such as single-nucleus RNA sequencing, to better understand host-symbiont interactions in deep-sea chemosynthetic organisms, paving the way for insights into molecular adaptations in extreme habitats.
