marine metagenome
This sample (TARA_N000001115) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_093 (latitudeN=-33.9116, longitudeE=-73.0537) on date/time=2011-03-12T19:36:38, 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 35-35 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_N000001114.
