Tectonic “pump” may close the evolutionary loop for subseafloor microbes

In subduction zones, the sites of the world’s largest earthquakes, tectonic activity may generate a “pump” that transports long-buried subseafloor microbes back toward the seafloor, according to research presented at the 2026 SSA Annual Meeting.

dif between fungi and microbe

Fungi are a specific kingdom of eukaryotic organisms (molds, yeasts, mushrooms) that can be unicellular or multicellular, while #microbes (microorganisms) are a broad category including all microscopic life, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, and microscopic fungi. #Fungi are generally larger and more complex than most microbes, with chitin in their cell walls

Microbes have a far broader potential for biodegrading plastics than previously known. Researchers identified more than 600,000 microbial proteins capable of breaking down natural and synthetic plastics and created an extensive open database on microbial plastic biodegradation.

"analyses confirm most eukaryotic supergroups previously observed, but suggest different positions for some lineages. Notably, Telonemia clusters with Haptophyta rather than SAR, and Ancyromonadida and Malawimonadida form a monophyletic group at the base of the Opimoda."
