Deep-Sea High-Pressure
Microbiology
• The opportunities to collect ultra-deep samples remain rare, but new technologies make this more feasible than ever.
• Piezophily requires extensive reengineering of the cell.
• Deep-sea microial communities are distinct and diverse.
Biotechnology Considerations
• Recalcitrant organic hydrolysis
• Bioremediation
• Organic osmolytes
• Secondary metabolites
• Novel enzyme mechanisms at low volume change
• Contained expression
