marine metagenome
This sample (TARA_X000001043) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_009 (latitudeN=39.0609, longitudeE=5.9422) on date/time=2009-09-28T16:59, using a PUMP (High Volume Peristaltic Pump). The sample material (particulate matter, including plankton (ENVO:xxxxxxxx)) was collected at a depth of 53-57 m, targeting a deep chlorophyll maximum layer (ENVO:xxxxxxxx) in the marine biome (ENVO:00000447). The sample was size-fractionated (5-20 micrometres), and stored in liquid nitrogen for later detection of unicellular eukaryote (protist) nucleic acid sequences by pyrosequencing methods, and for later metagenomics analysis. This sample has replicate sample(s): TARA_X000001042.
