And the deep subsurface is certainly one of these most difficult, and at the same time — just by volume, by space, by extent — one of the most dominant places on Earth." So these bacteria are likely ...

Researchers have recently discovered a sugar compound produced by deep-sea bacteria that has the potential to destroy cancer cells. Microbes living in our oceans produce a substance that triggers cell ...

Promoting pyroptosis—an inflammatory form of programmed cell death—has become a promising treatment strategy for cancer. In research published in The FASEB Journal, investigators purified a long-chain ...

A type of bacteria plucked from the bottom of the ocean could be put to work neutralizing large amounts of industrial carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, a group of University of Florida ...

You never know what you might find on a deep-sea dive. Crushing pressures can yield big discoveries, or in some cases, very small. Bianca Dal Bó is a recent graduate from LA’s Occidental College, and ...

Spider-like creatures living near methane seeps on the seafloor appear to cultivate and consume microbial species on their bodies that feed on the energy-rich gas. This expands the set of organisms ...

New research shows why some shelly critters flourished in the ocean’s harshest habitats — and others didn’t Jack Tamisiea Beds of Bathymodiolus mussels provide important habitat for other deep-sea ...

The deep sea is a dark, cold place. It’s just a few degrees above freezing, subject to immense pressure, and beyond the reach of the sunlight needed for photosynthesis. The life that does survive in ...
