Abstract
Oceans not only cover the major part of the earth’s surface but also reach into depths exceeding the height of the Mt Everest. They are populated down to the deepest levels (≈11800 m), which means that a significant proportion of the global biosphere is exposed to pressures of up to 120 MPa. Although this fact has been known for more than a century, the ecology of the ‘abyss’ is still in its infancy. Only recently, barophilic adaptation, i.e. the requirement of elevated pressure for viability, has been firmly established. In non-adapted organisms, increased pressure leads to morphological anomalies or growth inhibition, and ultimately to cell death. The detailed molecular mechanism of the underlying ‘metabolic dislocation’ is unresolved.
