Decoding microbial diversity, biogeochemical functions, and interaction potentials in red sea hydrothermal vents
Our genome-resolved analysis positions the Hatiba Mons vents as an iron-rich system that provides new insights into oligotrophic hydrothermal environments, with potential relevance for understanding novel metabolic pathways, extremophilic adaptations, and their roles in element cycling and biotechnological applications.
