1. Composition of bacterial communities in various dark ocean habitats based on the percentages of different bacterial phyla documented in clone libraries of the 16S rRNA gene containing nearly full-length sequences.
Composition of bacterial communities in various dark ocean habitats based on the percentages of different bacterial phyla documented in clone libraries of the 16S rRNA gene containing nearly full-length sequences. Each line represents a different sample set from one environment. The numbers after the references indicate the numbers of sequences in the sample clone library. Samples are grouped by habitat type, as indicated in the far left margin. Abbreviations and acronyms: pel., pelagic; ODP, Ocean Drilling Program; IODP, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program; carb., carbonate; HT, hydrothermal; HI, Hawaii; JdF, Juan de Fuca Ridge; EPR, East Pacific Rise; chalco., chalcopyrite; BS, black smoker; WS, white smoker; HV, hydrothermal vent; LCHF, Lost City hydrothermal field; ALOHA, Station ALOHA, Pacific Ocean, north of Hawaii; srfc, surface; SAGM, South African gold mine; GN, Guerrero Negro, Baja, CA. References correspond to reference numbers 60, 64, 88a, 93, 124, 166, 186, 196a, 202, 213, 215, 219a, 224, 232, 240, 242, 289, 290, 293, 307a, 335a, 346, 346a, 354, 357a, 372, 386, 392, 397, 400, 407, 409, 414, 424, 442, 443, 444, 447, 449, 456, 467, 476, 479, 499a, 506a, 518, 520, 535, 544, 566, 580a, 581, 590, 591, and 592.
