Antimony transformation and mobilization from stibnite by an antimonite oxidizing bacterium Bosea sp. AS-1

Li Xiang et al.

Summary: Soils and waters in Xikuangshan mine area are heavily contaminated by antimony. A study found that AS-1 strain, an antimonite-oxidizer, can mediate the oxidation of sulfide and Sb(III) in stibnite under oxic conditions, leading to the release of antimony. Furthermore, AS-1 can induce a faster release of antimony under heterotrophic condition and potentially form new minerals.

Compound-Specific Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Amino Acids in Eye Lenses as a New Tool to Reconstruct the Geographic and Trophic Histories of Fish

Yota Harada et al.

Summary: Fish migration plays a crucial role in marine conservation and fisheries management, but patterns are changing due to ocean conditions. A new method using isotopes in fish eye lenses can reconstruct geographic and trophic histories. This study analyzed the nitrogen isotope ratios of amino acids in chub mackerel eye lenses to distinguish migration and trophic changes.

The Morphology, Mitogenome, Phylogenetic Position, and Symbiotic Bacteria of a New Species of Sclerolinum (Annelida: Siboglinidae) in the South China Sea

Ting Xu et al.

Summary: Sclerolinum annulatus n. sp. is a newly described species of Siboglinidae found in the Haima cold seep of the South China Sea. It is morphologically distinct with transverse rings and elongated plaques on both sides of the dorsal furrow. Genetic analysis supports its placement in the genus Sclerolinum with a close relationship to an undescribed siboglinid from Japan.

A preliminary study of macrofaunal communities and their carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in the Haima cold seeps, South China Sea

Zhixin Ke et al.

Summary: The macrofaunal community in the Haima cold seeps of the South China Sea was investigated using stable isotope signatures. It was found that the mussel beds serve as an important nursery ground for mussels, and the food source for macrofauna in the cold seeps is mainly derived from chemosynthetic autotrophs.

Biogeochemistry and trophic structure of a cold seep ecosystem, offshore Krishna-Godavari basin (east coast of India)

A. Peketi et al.

Summary: Recent reports show the presence of active cold seep sites associated with shallow gas hydrates off the east coast of India. Sampling of benthic fauna revealed different food sources and trophic structures among species. Isotope analysis of the soft tissues provided insights into the potential food sources and trophic interactions within the ecosystem.

Lipid Biomarker Patterns Reflect Nutritional Strategies of Seep-Dwelling Bivalves From the South China Sea

Hongxiang Guan et al.

Summary: Invertebrates living at methane seeps gain nutrition through symbiosis with bacteria. Lipid biomarkers in the host tissues can provide information about the sources of diets and the associations among different environments, endosymbionts, and hosts. This study investigated the lipid inventories of mussels and clams from the South China Sea and found different lipid compositions in the gills of mussels hosting different types of symbiotic bacteria.

Host-Endosymbiont Genome Integration in a Deep-Sea Chemosymbiotic Clam

Jack Chi-Ho Ip et al.

Summary: Endosymbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria has enabled many deep-sea invertebrates to thrive at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. The genomes of the vesicomyid clam and its bacterial symbiont show tight metabolic complementarity and distinct signatures of coevolution, allowing the vesicomyids to thrive in chemosynthesis-based ecosystems. The host's genome encodes genes horizontally transferred from bacteria, while the endosymbiont retains complete pathways for sulfur oxidation, carbon fixation, and biosynthesis of amino acids.

Trophic interactions among the macrofauna of the deep-sea hydrothermal vents of Alarc acute accent on Rise, Southern Gulf of California

Diana L. Salcedo et al.

Summary: The recently discovered Alarc'on Rise (AR) hydrothermal system in the Southern Gulf of California is characterized by black smokers, high-temperature fluids, metalsulfides, and H2S. Through isotopic signatures, the study determined the trophic structure and energy flow in the vent community, revealing a wide range of carbon sources, the position of different fauna in the food chain based on nitrogen isotopes, and the assimilation of sulfur in vent fauna and organic matter in non-vent organisms indicated by sulfur isotopes.

Molecular analyses of the gill symbiosis of the bathymodiolin mussel Gigantidas platifrons

Hao Wang et al.

Summary: This study used the cold-seep mussel as a model to investigate host-symbiont interactions, revealing the important roles of the gill's non-symbiotic parts in protecting the symbiosis, bacteriocytes in supplying metabolites and controlling symbiont population, and symbionts in methane oxidation and energy production at tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. The bathymodiolin symbiosis maintains high efficiency and harmony in the chemosynthetic micro niche.

Lipids and their δ13C values reveal carbon assimilation and cycling in the methane-seep tubeworm Paraescarpia echinospica from the South China Sea

Hongxiang Guan et al.

Summary: Gutless tubeworms obtain their nutrition from bacterial endosymbionts, and their nutritional modes and relationships can be identified through lipid biomarkers and carbon isotope values. In a study in the South China Sea, it was found that the endosymbionts of tubeworms gain energy from oxidizing sulfur compounds, indicating complex trophic interactions.
