Improved theory of ocean iron cycle resolves modelling issues

A revised conceptual model of the chemical and physical forms of iron in the ocean reconciles the mismatch between observations and simulations of the amount of dissolved iron in seawater — and might aid climate predictions.

The potential for coupled organic and inorganic sulfur cycles across the terrestrial deep subsurface biosphere

Organic sulfur compounds are vital to life but often overlooked in the sulfur cycle, especially in the subsurface. Subsurface microbes can metabolize diverse organosulfur compounds, hinting at a more complex sulfur cycle than previously thought.

Inactive hydrothermal vent microbial communities are important contributors to deep ocean primary productivity

Radiolabel-based bioassays, nanoSIMs, metagenomics and lipidomics conducted on samples collected along the East Pacific Rise show higher than expected chemosynthetic microbial activity on inactive vents.

Preservation of iron(II) by carbon-rich matrices in a hydrothermal plume

Hydrothermal vents release significant quantities of dissolved iron into the oceans. Spectromicroscopic examination of a hydrothermal plume suggests that carbon-rich matrices protect this iron from oxidation and precipitation.

Microbial iron uptake as a mechanism for dispersing iron from deep-sea hydrothermal vents

Iron emitted from hydrothermal vents is stabilized by organic matter and dispersed into the world ocean, yet the pathways leading to iron–carbon interactions are unknown. Dick et al.propose that a new ‘microbial iron pump’ is responsible for converting hydrothermal iron into bioavailable forms.

Iron persistence in a distal hydrothermal plume supported by dissolved–particulate exchange

The largest known hydrothermal plume moves dissolved iron halfway across the Pacific. In situ measurements show that dissolved and particulate iron transport is facilitated by reversible exchange of dissolved iron onto organic compounds.
