Geologic and Hydrologic Controls on the Distribution, Diversity, and Activity of Subsurface Microbial Life Hosted in Gabbros and Peridotites in the Samail Ophiolite, Oman. OM2015 Metagenomics

This study utilizes shotgun metagenomic sequencing to define microbial community composition, diversity, and function across a broad range of measured geochemical conditions observed in serpentinite aquifers to elucidate geochemical and lithological controls on the energy availability and productivity in aquifers undergoing low-temperature water/rock reaction.

本研究采用宏基因组鸟枪法测序（shotgun metagenomic sequencing）技术，针对蛇纹岩含水层（serpentinite aquifers）中观测到的多种广泛实测的地球化学条件，解析其中微生物群落的组成、多样性与功能，旨在阐明经历低温水-岩反应的含水层内，地球化学与岩性因素对能量可利用性及群落生产力的调控机制。
