Microbe-driven elemental cycling enables microbial adaptation to deep-sea ferromanganese nodule sediment fields
Abstract Background Ferromanganese nodule-bearing deep-sea sediments cover vast areas of the ocean floor, representing a distinctive habitat in the abyss. These sediments harbor unique conditions characterized by high iron concentration and low degradable nutrient levels, which pose challenges to th...
