Elucidation of the bacterial and fungal community structure from the Arabian Sea oxygen depleted environment on a next generation sequencing platform

The Arabian Sea region is a biogeochemically dynamic region harboring one of the major oxygen depleted environments of the world oceans. The Arabian Sea region is a biogeochemically dynamic region harboring one of the world oceans major oxygen depleted environments. To get an in depth understanding of the bacterial and fungal community structure from oxygen depleted habitats, a metagenomic approach was used to characterize the diversity on a next-generation sequencing platform.
