Microbial signatures define the ecosystem functions of the pelagic microbiome in a basin-scale, Southwest Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The pelagic environment represents a mosaic of biogeographical domains shaped by regional oceanographic processes. Here, a coastal-to-open ocean microbiome investigation was conducted from 64 water samples of the Santos Basin (SB), located in the subtropical South Atlantic Ocean. We combined shotgun metagenomics with a hybrid machine learning workflow to investigate the taxonomic diversity, community structure, and ecosystem functions of pelagic microbiomes.
A Machine Learning Approach Elucidates Spatial Patterns of Environmental Properties Driving Microbial Composition Over Santos Basin, South Atlantic
Abstract Microbial communities in marine ecosystems play a pivotal role in global biogeochemical cycles, with particular relevance in ecologically and industrially significant regions such as the Santos Basin (SB), Brazil's largest marine sedimentary basin and a hub for oil and gas exploration. Yet, our capacity of predicting the microbial community structure and function remains limited for marine ecosystems.
Promiscuous endosymbionts in deep-sea corals and crinoids are shaped by nitrogen cycling
Abstract Crinoids are commonly associated with corals, but whether they physiologically interact is unclear. Like corals, crinoids host symbiotic microorganisms but little is known about the crinoid microbiome. Here, we reveal the microbiomes of the deep-sea corals Desmophyllum pertusum and Solenosmilia variabilis and, notably, their associated feather star crinoid, Koehlermetra (of the family Thalassometridae) in the Campos Basin, Brazil.
Species-specific relationships between deep sea sponges and their symbiotic Nitrosopumilaceae - The ISME Journal
Abstract Sponges thrive in the deep, dark and nutrient-depleted ocean and may rely on microbial symbionts for carbon acquisition and energy generation. However, these symbiotic relationships remain largely unexplored. In this study, we analyze the microbiome of deep-sea sponges and show that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) of the family Nitrosopumilaceae make up at least 75% of the microbial communities of the sponges Aphrocallistes sp., Farrea sp. and Paratimea sp..
