The deep-sea hydrothermal vents (DSHVs) in the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) are formed by specific geological settings. However, the community structure and ecological function of the microbial inhabitants on the sulfide chimneys of active hydrothermal vents remain largely unknown. In this study, our analyses of 16S rRNA gene amplicons and 16S rRNA metagenomic reads showed the dominance of sulfur-oxidizing Ectothiorhodospiraceae, Thiomicrorhabdus, Sulfurimonas, and Sulfurovum on the wall of two active hydrothermal chimneys. Compared with the inactive hydrothermal sediments of SWIR, the active hydrothermal chimneys lacked sulfur-reducing bacteria. The metabolic potentials of the retrieved 82 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) suggest that sulfur oxidation might be conducted by Thiohalomonadales (classified as Ectothiorhodospiraceae based on 16S rRNA gene amplicons), Sulfurovaceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae, Thiotrichaceae, Thiomicrospiraceae, and Rhodobacteraceae. For CO2 fixation, the Calvin-Benson-Bassham and reductive TCA pathways were employed by these bacteria. In Thiohalomonadales MAGs, we revealed putative phytochrome, carotenoid precursor, and squalene synthesis pathways, indicating a possible capacity of Thiohalomonadales in adaptation to dynamics redox conditions and the utilization of red light from the hot hydrothermal chimneys for photolithotrophic growth. This study, therefore, reveals unique microbiomes and their genomic features in the active hydrothermal chimneys of SWIR, which casts light on ecosystem establishment and development in hydrothermal fields and the deep biosphere.
