Abstract

The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans, harbors an astonishing diversity of life adapted to its extreme conditions. Among the unique microorganisms discovered in this abyssal environment is Marinobacter subterrani. This newly identified species showcases remarkable adaptations that allow it to thrive under the high pressure and low temperature of the deep sea. The study of M. subterrani not only enhances our understanding of life's resilience but also opens potential avenues for biotechnological applications.
