Epsilonproteobacteria bacterium SCGC AD-305-N05 Genome sequencing. Epsilonproteobacteria bacterium SCGC AD-305-N05

Single-cell genome sequencing to explore relationships between physiological succession, ecotype partitioning, and taxonomic replacement under changing levels of water column O2-deficiency. Samples were taken from an ongoing time-series program monitoring microbial community responses in seasonally anoxic coastal, transition, and open-ocean OMZs (oxygen minimum zones). The focus will be on samples from the northeastern subarctic Pacific Ocean (NESAP), which contains the largest and least-studied permanent OMZ in the global ocean.

本研究采用单细胞基因组测序技术，探究水柱缺氧程度变化下，生理演替、生态型分化与类群替代之间的关联。样本取自一项正在进行的时序监测项目，该项目针对季节性缺氧的近岸、过渡带及远洋氧最低区（oxygen minimum zones, OMZ）中的微生物群落响应开展监测。本研究的重点样本来自东北亚北极太平洋（NESAP），该区域拥有全球海洋中规模最大且研究程度最低的永久性氧最低区。
