Shotgun metatranscriptomics (MTX) is an increasingly practical way to survey microbial
community gene function and regulation at scale. This review begins by summarizing the …

At deep-sea hydrothermal vents, primary production is carried out by chemolithoautotrophic
microorganisms, with the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds being a major driver for …

Members of the bacterial genus Sulfurimonas (phylum Campylobacterota) dominate
microbial communities in marine redoxclines and are important for sulfur and nitrogen …

Chemolithotrophy is a pervasive metabolic lifestyle for microorganisms in the dark ocean.
