marine metagenome
This sample (TARA_N000003102) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_142 (latitudeN=25.6168, longitudeE=-88.4532) on date/time=2012-01-09T20:17:16, using a ROSETTE sampler with CTD (sbe9C) and 10 Niskin bottles. The sample material (particulate matter, including plankton (ENVO:xxxxxxxx)) was collected at a depth of 121-130 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/transcriptomics analysis. This sample has replicate sample(s): TARA_N000003101.
