marine metagenome
This sample (TARA_N000000067) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_040 (latitudeN=17.4831, longitudeE=68.0026) on date/time=2010-03-22T13:11:56, 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 103-107 m, targeting a water layer with no specific feature in the marine biome (ENVO:00000447). The sample was size-fractionated (3-> 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.
