To study the metabolic potential of microbes in deep-sea sediments, we sequenced metagenomes of deep-sea sediment samples from the western Pacific Ocean.
We sampled lucinid clams primarily from deeper waters, sequenced all the DNA in their gills, and assembled it to metagenomes to study their bacterial chemosymbionts at the genomic level.
Study the bacterial diversity in deep sea sediments in Bay of Bengal and analyse the variation in them across samples obtained from various geographic locations
