Microbial diversity in sediments of core HS-PC 500 from Shenhu Area, northern South China Sea
南海北部陆坡神狐海域HS-PC500 岩心微生物多样性

Objective] We studied the microbial diversity in the sediments of different depth in a gravity piston core HS-PC500 from Shenhu Area,the northern of South China Sea.Methods] Total DNA was extracted from the sedimental materials;the archaeal and bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences were amplified.The clone libraries were used to analyze the microbial systematic development.Results] Group C3 was the predominant archaeal group in the top layer(0-5 cm bsf) sediments,and the Marine Benthic Group(MBG)-B group bec...
