Clear niche partitioning of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria from the bottom and the slope of Mariana Trench

Abstract Background The hadal zone, characterized by extreme hydrostatic pressure and geographic isolation, hosts microbial communities uniquely adapted to these harsh conditions. While niche partitioning has been observed in other deep-sea environments, its existence within hadal trench ecosystems...
