Background Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers capable of cm-scale electron transport. They are generally considered restricted to the upper few oxic–suboxic cm of marine sediments, where they couple sulphide oxidation […]

Anoxia-adapted Cyanobacteria In A Marine Blue Hole
Vertical transmission of marine particles brings ocean surface cyanobacteria into the deep ocean, where heterotrophic cyanobacterial lineages probably evolve to adapt to new environments even in oxygen-depleted zones.
