Mediterranean Deep Chlorophyll Maximum metagenome 0.22-5 micron fraction
The deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) is a zone of maximal photosynthetic activity, generally located toward  the base of the photic zone in lakes and oceans. In the tropical waters, this is a permanent feature, but  in the Mediterranean and other temperate waters, the DCM is a seasonal phenomenon. This bioproject contains  several metagenomes (from different size fractions) recovered from the same location,  in different years, in the Mediterranean Sea.  This metagenome, MedDCM-JUL2012, was obtained from the 0.22-5 microns fraction.
