Abstract

Deep-sea ecosystems are home to a diverse community of microorganisms. These microbes are not only fundamental to ecological processes but also a treasure trove of natural products and enzymes with significant scientific and industrial applications. This forum focuses on the vast diversity of deep-sea microbes and their potential for bioprospecting. It also discusses threats posed by climate change and deep-sea mining to deep-sea microbial genetic resources, and proposes future research directions.

摘要

深海生态系统是多种微生物群落的家园。这些微生物不仅对生态过程至关重要，而且是具有重要科学和工业应用价值的天然产物和酶的宝库。本次论坛聚焦于深海微生物的巨大多样性及其生物勘探潜力。它还讨论了气候变化和深海采矿对深海微生物遗传资源构成的威胁，并提出了未来的研究方向。
