This project investigates the microbial communities in deep-sea sediments, focusing on their diversity, function, and interactions with organic matter. By combining various scientific techniques, it aims to enhance understanding of how these bacteria contribute to global carbon and nutrient cycles in the ocean.
The deep-sea floor hosts a distinct microbial biome covering 67% of the Earth’s surface, characterized by cold temperatures, permanent darkness, high pressure and food limitation.
The surface sediments are dominated by bacteria, with on average a billion cells per ml.
Benthic bacteria are highly relevant to the Earth’s element cycles as they remineralize most of the organic matter sinking from the productive surface ocean, and return nutrients, thereby promoting ocean primary production.
