The deep ocean is the most pressured environments on the planet, and understanding the microbiology and ecology of the deep ocean is essential to decipher the intricate global ocean biogeochemical cycles shaping our world. On the other hand, the deep ocean, including the hadal trenches, with its rich biological diversity, houses abundant and vast biological and genetic resources, with great potential applications, from advancing scientific knowledge to developing novel commercial products. In LMMB, we examine the diversity and activity of microbial life in the deep ocean, explore the mechanisms of microbial adaptation to the deep-sea high-pressure conditions, and find novel biological and genetic resources in the deep.
