Seamount microbial communities refer to microorganisms living within the surrounding environment of seamounts. Seamounts are often called the hotspot of marine life[1][2] serving as a barrier that disrupts the current and flow in the ocean, which is referred to as the seamount effect.[3][4]
Around 25 million seamounts are known to exist,[2][4][5] however, the research on microbial communities are focused on volcanically active seamounts.[3][4] The microbial interactions with marine life, such as sponges and corals, demonstrates the potential importance of microbes in the foundational success of seamount communities.
