This project investigates the effects of heavy metal exposure on microbial growth, metabolism, and diversity in deep-sea environments. By simulating deep-sea conditions, it aims to understand how increased metal concentrations from mining activities impact microbial communities and their essential ecosystem functions.
Deep-sea mining of earth minerals is expected to grow in the next decades.
The increase in deep-sea mining activities may lead to the release of toxic concentrations of metals into the surrounding seabed.
Increased concentrations of heavy metals can disturb important ecosystem services provided by microbial communities, such as growth, nutrient cycling activity, and microbial diversity.
However, the consequences of metal exposure on microbial ecosystem functions in deep-sea conditions are curren…
