A novel methane-oxidizing bacterium, strain IT-9(T), was isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal system occurring in a coral reef in Japan and represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Methylomarinovum caldicuralii gen. nov. is proposed.

There are unique microbial communities that are sustained by active chemosynthetic primary production rather than by photosynthetic production in a shallow hydrothermal system where sunlight is abundant, according to cultivation-based and molecular techniques.
Three-year investigations into sperm whale-fall ecosystems in Japan

Benthic communities were similar across all the carcasses studied, although the body sizes of the whales were very different, and the succession of epifaunal communities was relatively rapid and the sulphophilic stage was considerably shorter than that of other known whale falls.

Rhythms were stronger in eelpouts and were weaker in red crabs and snails, respectively, and differences in the magnitudes of the rhythms were related to the different modes of species locomotion in relation to seabed currents.

The aggregated CSDs successfully functioned as a coral settlement substratum, with more appropriate arrangement of CSDs on the frame, enabling greater exposure to sunlight and currents, which is expected to increase the amount of settlement.
Spatial Distribution of Viruses Associated with Planktonic and Attached Microbial Communities in Hydrothermal Environments

The results suggested that viral lifestyles (e.g., lysogenic prevalence) and virus interactions with prokaryotes are significantly different among the planktonic and attached microbial communities that are developing in the submarine hydrothermal environments.
