Diversity and distribution of microbial eukaryotes from the surface water to abyssal sediment in the Western Pacific Ocean
In this study, we investigated the vertical profiles of microbial eukaryotes throughout the deep-ocean water columns down to abyssal sediments (~ 5,840 m) and their horizontal distribution over a distance of 1,300 km in the Western Pacific Ocean by using high throughput DNA sequencing.
