Marine culturable yeasts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents:

چکیده
26 The diversity of culturable yeasts at deep-sea hydrothermal sites has been investigated and 27 raises emerging hints regarding interactions with endemic fauna. Samples were collected 28 during diverse oceanographic cruises at Mid-Atlantic Ridge, South Pacific Basins and East 29 Pacific Rise. A culture collection of thirty-two isolates mostly associated with animals was 30 performed. The phylogenetic analyses of 26S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the yeasts 31 belonged to Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla with the identification of several genera: 32 Rhodotorula, Rhodosporidium, Candida, Debaryomyces, and Cryptococcus. Those genera are 33 usually isolated from deep-sea environments. To our knowledge, this is the first report of 34 yeasts associated with deep-sea hydrothermal animals. 35

Marine culturable yeasts in deep-sea hydrothermal vents: species richness and association with fauna.
Investigations of the diversity of culturable yeasts at deep-sea hydrothermal sites have suggested possible interactions with endemic fauna. Samples were collected during various oceanographic cruises at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, South Pacific Basins and East Pacific Rise. Cultures of 32 isolates, mostly associated with animals, were collected. Phylogenetic analyses of 26S rRNA gene sequences rev...
متن کاملAntarctic Marine Biodiversity and Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents
The diversity of many marine benthic groups is unlike that of most other taxa. Rather than declining from the tropics to the poles, much of the benthos shows high diversity in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, many species are unique to the Antarctic region. Recent work has shown that this is also true of the communities of Antarctic deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Vent ecosystems have been documented...
متن کاملDiversity of thiosulfate-oxidizing bacteria from marine sediments and hydrothermal vents.
Species diversity, phylogenetic affiliations, and environmental occurrence patterns of thiosulfate-oxidizing marine bacteria were investigated by using new isolates from serially diluted continental slope and deep-sea abyssal plain sediments collected off the coast of New England and strains cultured previously from Galapagos hydrothermal vent samples. The most frequently obtained new isolates,...
متن کاملThe Discovery of New Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Communities in the Southern Ocean and Implications for Biogeography
Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along the Galápagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes. These discoveries have suggested the existence of separate biogeographic provinces in the Atlantic and the North West Pacific, the existence of a province including the So...
متن کاملDeep-sea hydrothermal vents as natural egg-case incubators at the Galapagos Rift
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in 1977 challenged our views of ecosystem functioning and yet, the research conducted at these extreme and logistically challenging environments still continues to reveal unique biological processes. Here, we report for the first time, a unique behavior where the deep-sea skate, Bathyraja spinosissima, appears to be actively using the elevated temper...
