TL;DR: It was revealed that only three species, namely Penicillium sp.

TL;DR: In this article, a deep-sea investigation named Iata-Piuna cruise was conducted using the human-occupied vehicle Shinkai 6500 off Brazil's southeast continental margin.

TL;DR: Differences in alpha-diversity and bacterial community structure were found between the two areas, reflecting the physical and chemical differences in the sediments, and the organic matter input.

TL;DR: The unexpected high abundance of Alphaproteobacteria and Acidimicrobiia in deep-sea microbial communities may be related to the presence of asphalt seep at North São Paulo Plateau, since these bacterial classes contain bacteria that possess the capability of metabolizing hydrocarbon compounds.

TL;DR: Assessment of archaeal diversity in Martel Inlet, Admiralty Bay and possible interferences of the Antarctic Brazilian Station Comandante Ferraz wastewater discharge revealed groups not commonly found by other authors in Antarctic habitats and indicated the presence of groups of uncultivated archaea previously associated to methane rich environments or to the methane cycle.
