A wide array of microorganisms, including many novel, phylogenetically deeply rooted taxa,
survive and thrive in extreme environments. These unique and reduced-complexity …

Recent advances in studying the dynamics of marine microbial communities have shown
that the composition of these communities follows predictable patterns and involves complex …

Marine microbial communities are engines of globally important processes, such as the
marine carbon, nitrogen and sulphur cycles. Recent data on the structures of these …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

The pelagic realm of the dark ocean represents a key site for remineralization of organic
matter and long‐term carbon storage and burial in the biosphere. It contains the largest pool …

Microbial activities that affect global oceanographic and atmospheric processes happen
throughout the water column, yet the long-term ecological dynamics of microbes have been …

The downward flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) decreases significantly in the
oceanÂs mesopelagic or 'twilight'zone due both to abiotic processes and metabolism by …

To test the hypothesis that different drivers shape the diversity and biogeography of the total
and active bacterial community, we examined the bacterial community composition along …

The importance of associations between microorganisms and their invertebrate hosts is
becoming increasingly apparent. An emerging field, driven by the necessity to understand …

Bacterial assemblages from subsurface (100 m depth), meso‐(200–1000 m depth) and
bathy‐pelagic (below 1000 m depth) zones at 10 stations along a North Atlantic Ocean …
