Depth shapes microbiome assembly and network stability in the Mariana Trench.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Exploring microbial interactions and their stability/resilience from the surface to the hadal ocean is critical for further understanding of the microbiome structure and ecosystem function in the Mariana Trench. Vertical gradients did not destabilize microbial communities after long-term evolution and adaption. The uniform niche breadth, diversity, community complexity, and stability of microbiomes in both upper bathypelagic and hadal waters suggest the consistent roles of microbiomes in elemental cycling and adaptive strategies to overcome extreme environmental conditions. Compared with microeukaryotes, bacteria and archaea play a pivotal role in shaping the stability of the hadal microbiome. The consistent co-occurrence stability of microbiomes across vertical gradient
