Almost the entire seafloor is covered with sediments that can be more than 10 000 m thick and represent a vast microbial ecosystem major component of Earth's element energy cycles. Notably, significant proportion life in marine exploit conserved during transformations sulfur compounds among different redox states. Sulfur cycling, which primarily driven by sulfate reduction, tightly interwoven other important cycles (carbon, nitrogen, iron, manganese) therefore has profound implications for both cellular- ecosystem-level processes. Sulfur-transforming microorganisms have evolved diverse genetic, metabolic, some cases, peculiar phenotypic features to fill an array ecological niches sediments.

Abstract Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this has rarely been explored microorganisms. Here we tested these principles in permeable (sandy) sediments, ecosystems with much spatiotemporal variation resource availability physicochemical conditions. Microbial community composition function were profiled intertidal subtidal sediments using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing metagenomics, yielding 135 metagenome-assembled genomes. Community metabolic traits modestly varied sediment depth sampling date. Several taxa highly abundant prevalent all samples, including within the orders Woeseiales Flavobacteriales, classified as generalists; genome reconstructions indicate are metabolically flexible facultative anaerobes adapt to variability by different electron donors acceptors. In contrast, obligately anaerobic such sulfate reducers candidate lineage MBNT15 less overall only thrived more stable deeper sediments. We substantiated findings measuring three processes sediments; whereas generalist-associated sulfide oxidation fermentation occurred rapidly at depths, specialist-associated process reduction was restricted A manipulative experiment also confirmed generalists outcompete during simulated disturbance.

Thus, an ecological describing distribution patterns macroorganisms likely extends Such have broad biogeochemical ramifications.

Abstract Hadal trench bottom (>6000 m below sea level) sediments harbor higher microbial cell abundance compared with adjacent abyssal plain sediments. This is supported by the accumulation of sedimentary organic matter (OM), facilitated topography. However, distribution benthic microbes in different systems has not been well explored yet. Here, we carried out small subunit ribosomal RNA gene tag sequencing for 92 sediment subsamples seven and hadal cores collected from three regions northwest Pacific Ocean: Japan, Izu-Ogasawara, Mariana Trenches. Tag-sequencing analyses showed specific patterns several phyla associated oxygen nitrate. The community structure was distinct between sediments, following geographic locations factors represented depth. Co-occurrence network revealed six potential prokaryotic consortia that covaried across regions. Our results further support OM cycle driven currents and/or rapid burial shapes structures at sites, addition to vertical deposition surface ocean. trans -trench analysis highlights intra- inter-trench distributions assemblages geochemistry seafloor providing novel insights into ultradeep-sea ecology, one last frontiers on our planet.

Summary The first interaction of water column‐derived organic matter with benthic microbial communities takes place in surface sediments which are acting as biological filters catalyzing central steps elemental cycling. Here we analyzed the bacterial diversity and community structure sediment top layers at seven sites North Sea where properties ranged from coarse‐grained highly permeable to fine‐grained impermeable. Bacterial were richer, more even significantly different bottom waters revealed by Illumina tag sequencing 16S rRNA genes. Sediment permeability had a clear influence on composition was confirmed CARD‐FISH. Sulfate‐reducing Desulfobacteraceae (2–5% total cells), Flavobacteriaceae (3–5%) abundant impermeable than acidobacterial Sva0725 dominated (11–15%). Myxobacterial Sandaracinaceae most medium (3–7%). Woeseiaceae /JTB255 Planctomycetes major groups all (4–6%, 8–22%). diverse branched throughout phylum. We propose key bacteria for degradation high molecular weight compounds recalcitrant material entering column.

Abstract The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable (sand) sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide- wave-driven hydrodynamic disturbance causes spatiotemporal variations in oxygen levels, which select for generalists disrupt redox cascades. In this work, we profiled communities sediment profiles three sites varying their exposure to disturbance. Strong geochemistry, activities, abundance, composition, capabilities were observed between the sites. Most these variations, except abundance diversity, significantly correlated with relative level each sample. line previous findings, metabolically flexible habitat (e.g., Flavobacteriaceae, Woeseaiceae, Rhodobacteraceae) dominated all samples. However, present evidence that aerobic specialists such as ammonia-oxidizing archaea (Nitrosopumilaceae) more abundant active disturbed samples, whereas bacteria capable sulfate reduction uncultured Desulfobacterales), dissimilatory nitrate ammonium (DNRA; e.g., Ignavibacteriaceae), sulfide-dependent chemolithoautotrophy Sulfurovaceae) enriched less These findings are supported by insights nine deeply sequenced metagenomes 169 derived metagenome-assembled genomes. Altogether, suggest is a critical factor controlling assembly processes Moreover, they strengthen our understanding relationships unique environments.

Hadal ocean sediments, found at sites deeper than 6,000 m water depth, are thought to contain microbial communities distinct from those shallower depths due high hydrostatic pressures and higher abundances of organic matter. These may also differ one other as a result geographical isolation. Here we compare community composition in surficial sediments two hadal environments-the Mariana Kermadec trenches-to evaluate biogeography depths. Sediment consortia were between trenches, with relative sequence taxa previously correlated matter degradation present the Trench. In contrast, Trench, both enriched predicted break down recalcitrant material contained uncharacterized lineages. At 97% similarity level, sequence-abundant not trench-specific related abyssal habitats, indicating potential connectivity geographically isolated sediments. Despite diversity microorganisms identified using culture-independent techniques, most isolates obtained under situ piezophiles. Members these same became dominant members when native incubated static, long-term, unamended high-pressure conditions. Our results support hypothesis that there is sediment populations inhabiting trenches while showing whole specific lineages vary trench collection horizon depth. This biodiversity largely missed incubating samples within pressure vessels highlights need for revised protocols incubations.
