16S rRNA gene and metagenomic sequencing analysis of a deep granitic aquifer
16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing and miseq sequencing and metagenomic sequencing were performed for deep granitic groundwater to profile microbial communities and reconstruct metabolism of subsurface anaerobic methanotrophic archaea. High-quality groundwater was collected from underground boreholes drilled at a 300-m deep stage of the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory in central Japan.
