Microbial communities in deep eastern Mediterranean Sea surface sediments

Sampling

In order to elucidate spatial distribution of microorganisms in deep sea surface sediments and to reduce the general information deficiency regarding microbial community composition in sediments of the eastern Mediterranean Sea, sequences of surface sediment samples from 9 stations in the Levantine basin were produced by 454 massive tag sequencing and compared to each other.
