3 days ago · Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms in the sea. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy . A large proportion of all life on Earth lives ...
12 hours ago · The ocean is the habitat of a great number of organisms with different characteristics. Compared to terrestrial microorganisms, marine microorganisms also represent a vast and largely unexplored reservoir of bioactive compounds with diverse industrial applications like terrestrial microorganisms. This review examines the properties and potential applications of products derived from marine ...

1 day ago · Microbial mats of coexisting bacteria and archaea were the dominant form of life in the early Archean eon and many of the major steps in early evolution are thought to have taken place in this environment.
4 days ago · ISME J 2024 Jan; 18 (1): Non-lytic viruses with enveloped pleomorphic virions (family Pleolipoviridae) are ubiquitous in hypersaline environments across the globe and are associated with nearly all major lineages of halophilic archaea. However, their existence in other ecosystems remains largely unknown.
1 day ago · Analysis of the tree of life places thermophilic and hyperthermophilic bacteria and archaea closest to the root, suggesting that life may have evolved in a hot environment. The deep sea or alkaline hydrothermal vent theory posits that life began at submarine hydrothermal vents.
4 days ago · Currently, most studies on archaea have focused on marine ecosystems (Liu et al., 2020; Li et al., 2021), while fewer studies have been conducted on archaea in lakes. Although a few studies have examined the archaeal community composition and diversity in lakes, the network patterns of archaea have not been analyzed ( Haller et al., 2011 ; Fan ...
2 days ago · Microbes called anaerobic methanotrophic archaea form communities with sulfate reducing bacteria. These communities can consume methane without the need for oxygen. Processes associated with these microbes can create silica deposits that appear to entomb the communities. Silica deposition helps to preserve aggregates in the geological record.
