Mediterranean Deep Chlorophyll Maximum Metagenome
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.
