Research on the deep-sea vent tubeworm Riftia pachyptila shows how its symbiotic bacteria use two carbon fixation pathways to adapt to deep-sea conditions, suggesting potential…
Newcastle University scientists, supported by the UK’s Natural Environmental Research Council, have been delving into the mystery of life’s emergence on Earth over 3.5 billion…
A newly discovered species of bacteria found at the deep-sea hydrothermal vent known as ‘Crab Spa’ offers significant insights into the evolution of bacteria. Deep-sea…
Scientists discover bacteria capable of “sensing” Earth’s magnetic field in deep-sea vents. Bacteria that can align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field have been found…
In the depths of the ocean, along tectonic plate boundaries, hydrothermal vents emit hot fluids. These fluids lack oxygen and are rich in metals like…
Based on the samples provided by U.S. Navy deep sea submersible Alvin, USC microbiologists discovered that life continues at hydrothermal vents even after they go…
