communities of the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, the deepest known hadal zone …

Microbial communities are a large component of abyssal and hadal benthic environments,
especially in deep-sea areas like Yap Trench, they provide a continuous source of nutrients …

Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans. Even in the deep sediments of the Mariana Trench,
viruses have high productivity. However, little is known about their species composition and …

The hadal trenches are “hot spots” for mineralization of organic matter in the deep ocean.
