Editorial: Hydrothermal microbial ecosystems
The papers in the " Hydrothermal Vent " research topic cover a range of microbiological research in deep and shallow hydrothermal environments, from high temperature " black smokers, " to diffuse flow habitats and episodically discharging subsurface fluids, to the hydrothermal plumes. Together they provide a snapshot of current research interests in a field that has evolved rapidly since the di...
متن کاملEditorial: The Role of Microbial Communities in Tropical Ecosystems
Microorganisms represent the largest proportion of the Earth's biodiversity and play an essential role in ecosystem processes, providing functions that ultimately sustain all of life (Falkowski et al., 2008; Prosser, 2012). Understanding the link between ecosystem functioning and the distribution of microbial diversity is essential to predict ecosystem responses to a changing environment (de Vr...
متن کاملEditorial: Development of Microbial Ecological Theory: Stability, Plasticity, and Evolution of Microbial Ecosystems
We initiated this research topic based on the question " how can we develop microbial ecological theory? " We incorporated three important aspects, stability, plasticity, and evolution, which are key areas for progress in microbial ecological theory. Advances in microbial ecological techniques have allowed us to meticulously consider the dynamics of community structures, interspecies networks, ...
متن کاملDiffuse flow environments within basalt- and sediment-based hydrothermal vent ecosystems harbor specialized microbial communities
Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear. Here, we investigated both alpha and beta diversity of diffuse flow-associated microbial communities emanating from vents at a basalt-based hydrothermal system along the East Pacific Rise (EPR) and a sediment-based hydrothermal system, Guaym...
متن کاملHydrothermal vent ecosystems and representative hyperthermophilic microorganisms
One of the most spectacular events of the present century, concerning all biological and environmental disciplines, was the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents around the Galapagos Islands, during the late 1970s. This remarkable scientific accomplishment was achieved thanks to the extensive work carried out by oceanographers and geologists. A significant role in terms of scientific support...
