Article Abstract
Tepidibacter sp. SWIR-1, a putative new species isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent field on the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR), is an anaerobic, mesophilic and endospore-forming bacterium belonging to the family Peptostreptococcaceae. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of strain SWIR-1, consists of a single circular chromosome comprising 4,122,966 nucleotides with 29.25% G + C content and a circular plasmid comprising 38,843 nucleotides with 29.46% G + C content. In total, 3861 protein coding genes, 104 tRNA genes and 46 rRNA genes were obtained. SWIR-1 genome contains numerous genes related to sporulation and germination. Compared with the other three Tepidibacter species, SWIR-1 contained more spore germination receptor proteins. In addition, SWIR-1 contained more genes involved in chemotaxis and two-component systems than other Tepidibacter species. These results indicated that SWIR-1 has developed versatile adaptability to the Southwest Indian Ridge hydrothermal vent environment. The genome of strain SWIR-1 will be helpful for further understanding adaptive strategies used by bacteria dwelling in the deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments of different oceans.

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are renowned for being among the most extreme environments on Earth. However, the mussel shells found in these vent sites demonstrate remarkable productivity, despite being subjected to high pressure as well as unusual levels of heavy metals, pH, temperature, CO, and sulphides. To comprehend how these mussels endure such extreme conditions, a systematic comparative study was conducted, focusing on the unique chemical composition, structural designs, and mechanical properties of hydrothermal vent mussels (Bathymodiolus aduloides) in comparison to shallow-water mussels (Mytilus edulis).

Snails at hydrothermal vents rely on symbiotic bacteria for nutrition; however, the specifics of these associations in adapting to such extreme environments remain underexplored. This study investigated the community structure and metabolic potential of bacteria associated with two Indian Ocean vent snails, and . Using microscopic, phylogenetic, and metagenomic analyses, this study examines bacterial communities inhabiting the foot and gland tissues of these snails.

species are ubiquitously distributed across both shallow and deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Elemental sulfur (S°) reduction plays a pivotal role in their energy metabolism. While extensive characterization of the MBS and MBH pathways, along with their SurR-dependent regulatory network, has been established in shallow-water model strains, understanding of the high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and sulfur-responsive regulation of these pathways in deep-sea lineages remains limited.

Background: The Pompeii worm Alvinella pompejana, a terebellid annelid, has long been an exemplar of a metazoan that lives in an extreme environment, on the chimney wall of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, but this very environment has made it difficult to study. Comprehensive assessment of Alvinella pompejana genome content, and the factors that could explain its ability to thrive in seemingly hostile conditions has been lacking.
Results: We report the chromosome-level genome sequence of Alvinella pompejana and population-level sequence variants.
