Deep sea sediments associated with cold seeps are a subsurface ...
Mar 1, 2021 · Here, we probed metagenomes from seven geographically diverse cold seeps across global oceans to assess viral diversity, virus–host interaction, and virus-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes...
A comprehensive genomic catalog from global cold seeps
Sep 8, 2023 · Here, we collected a compilation of 165 metagenomic datasets from 16 cold seep sites across the globe to construct a comprehensive gene and genome catalog.
Deep sea cold seeps are a sink for mercury and source for
Jun 14, 2024 · Seafloor cold seeps can act as a sink for mercury and a source for methylmercury in the deep ocean, according to the results from geochemical and geomicrobiological analysis of sediments of the...
Marine Cold Seeps: Background and Recent Advances
Apr 6, 2018 · Marine cold seeps provide windows into different depth levels of the geosphere where transfer processes and reactions are active. Cold seeps emit material back into the ocean and leave characteristic footprints on the seafloor.
Cold seep systems in the South China Sea: An overview
Dec 1, 2018 · In this review, we describe the cold seep systems of the SCS with an emphasis on seafloor manifestations, fluid sources, biogeochemical processes, and macroecology. Seafloor features associated with seeps include mud volcanoes, pockmarks, and carbonate deposits.
Cold seeps form when very large quantities of hydrocarbons are produced beneath the seafloor. Essentially, these hydrocarbons overflow or are pushed up through the seafloor when tectonic activity squeezes the sediments below the surface releasing the …
Cold Seep Systems - SpringerLink
Jul 19, 2017 · ‘Cold’ seeps (or cold vents) are seafloor manifestations of fluid migration through sediments from the subsurface to the seabed and into the water column, and may reach the atmosphere. They are an important but not fully understood process in our oceans...
A vast repertoire of secondary metabolites potentially influences ...
Apr 26, 2024 · Deep-sea cold seeps are unique and extraordinary ecosystems primarily located at continental margins. These seepages originate from the upward migration of hydrocarbon-rich fluids (mainly methane) through submarine microfractures (1, 2).
Life at Vents & Seeps - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Mar 19, 2020 · Hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are places where chemical-rich fluids emanate from the seafloor, often providing the energy to sustain lush communities of life in some very harsh environments.
Cold-Seep Mollusks Are Older Than the General Marine Mollusk …
Sep 8, 2006 · Deep-sea cold seeps are sites where low-temperature fluids rich in hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide leak onto the sea floor and support specialized animal communities dominated by taxa having symbiotic relationships with chemoautotrophic bacteria (1).
