It is claimed that oceanic hydrothermal vents (HVs), particularly the shallow water ones, offer particular advantages to better understand the effects of future climate and other global change on oceanic biota. Marine hydrothermal vents (HVs) are extreme...

The presence of active hydrothermal vent fields near residential areas and their possible link to volcanic activity poses a potential hazard to the environment, society, and the economy. By capitalizing on Autonomous Underwater Vehicle sampling methodolo...

Hydrothermal vents are chemosynthetically driven ecosystems and one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Vent communities exhibit remarkable taxonomic novelty at the species and supra-species levels, and over 80% of vent species are endemic. Here, ...

The exploitation of thermophilic hydrocarbon-utilizing bacilli could provide novel environmentally friendly surfactants. In this work, 80 thermophilic bacilli isolated from shallow hydrothermal vents of the Eolian Islands (Italy) were screened for their ...

Gold and other metals (Cu, Zn, Ag, etc.) are enriched in vent fluids, approximately 3?5 orders of magnitude higher than those in seawater, and this leads to the formation of sulfide enrichment in Cu, Zn, Au, and Ag deposited on the mid-ocean ridge and is...

The in situ element concentrations and the sulfur (S), and lead (Pb) isotopic compositions in anglesite were investigated for samples from seafloor hydrothermal fields in the Okinawa Trough (OT), Western Pacific. The anglesite grains are of two kinds: (1...

The dispersal of organisms in an isolated environment of a hydrothermal vent remains unclear. Here, we provide direct evidence that meroplanktonic larvae may migrate thousands of meters above the ocean floor. The morphological quantitative measurements o...

Identifying the locations of hydrothermal chimneys across mapped areas of seafloor spreading ridges unlocks the ability to research questions about their correlations to geology, the cooling of the lithosphere, and deep-sea biogeography. We developed a C...

Chitin, one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature, is a crucial material that provides sufficient rigidity to the exoskeleton. In addition, chitin is a valuable substance in both the medical and industrial fields. The synthesis of chitin is catalyze...
