Genome-centric insight into metabolically active microbial population in shallow-sea hydrothermal vents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Geothermal systems have contributed greatly to both our understanding of the functions of extreme life and the evolutionary history of life itself. Shallow-sea hydrothermal systems are ecological intermediates of deep-sea systems and terrestrial springs, harboring unique and complexed ecosystems, which are well-lit and present physicochemical gradients. The microbial communities of deep-sea and terrestrial geothermal systems have been well-studied at the population genome level, yet little is known about the communities inhabiting the shallow-sea hydrothermal systems and how they compare to those inhabiting other geothermal systems.

Results

Here, we used genome-resolved metagenomic and metaproteomic approaches to probe into the genetic potential and protein expres
