Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Diversity and Metabolic Potentials of Seawater and Surface Sediment From a Hadal Biosphere at the Yap Trench

Hadal biosphere represents the deepest part of the ocean with water depth >6,000 m. Accumulating evidence suggests the existence of unique microbial communities dominated by heterotrophic processes in this environment. However, investigations of the microbial diversity and their metabolic pot...
