Article Abstract

The environmental DNA was directly extracted from the sediment in Parece Vela Basin, Pacific Ocean, at a depth of 5010 m. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene library of 32 clones was generated using bacterial universal primers and 16S rDNA sequences were analyzed phylogenetically. 17 phylotypes were obtained. The library was dominated by gamma-Proteobacteria, alpha-Proteobacteria and marine uncultured bacteria. Sixty-two percent of the cloned sequences was highly related to the known bacteria in the genus Halomonas, Alcanivorax, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Pseudoalteromonas (> 96% sequence similarity), while some of the cloned sequences showed less affiliation with known taxa (< 94% sequence similarity) and may represent novel taxa.

A slab window in the south rim of the Parece-Vela Basin.

Slab windows represent regions within the mantle that are largely devoid of slab material, facilitating direct communication between the mantle above and below the subducting slab. This unprecedented interaction disrupts the conventional material-energy exchange mechanisms between the subducted slab and mantle wedge, giving rise to anomalous heat flow, distinct magmatism, metamorphism, and geophysical features. Geochemical analyses of samples collected from the southern margin of the Parece-Vela Basin have illuminated the magmatic processes associated with a slab window.

International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 352 recovered sedimentary-volcaniclastic successions and extensional structures (faults and extensional veins) that allow the reconstruction of the Izu-Bonin forearc tectonic evolution using a combination of shipboard core data, seismic reflection images, and calcite vein microstructure analysis. The oldest recorded biostratigraphic ages within fault-bounded sedimentary basins (Late Eocene to Early Oligocene) imply a ~15 Ma hiatus between the formation of the igneous basement (52 to 50 Ma) and the onset of sedimentation. At the upslope sites (U1439 and U1442) extension led to the formation of asymmetric basins reflecting regional stretch of ~16-19% at strain rates of ~1.
