The marine microbial biogeography is gradually emerging a consensus. However, knowledge of the biodiversity, the biogeographic patterns and the factors influencing the distribution of deep-marine prok
DNA from 16 SCS sediments have been extracted and amplified by 515F/909R primer pairs (for prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene). The prokaryotic communities of these 16 samples were obtained.
The dark ocean microbial dynamics are fundamental to understand ocean ecosystem processes. However, how deep prokaryotic communities respond to environmental changes is largely unknown. The aim of the
