Bacterial community composition of South China Sea sediments through pyrosequencing-based analysis of 16S rRNA genes.

BACKGROUND:Subseafloor sediments accumulate large amounts of organic and inorganic materials that contain a highly diverse microbial ecosystem. The aim of this study was to survey the bacterial community of subseafloor sediments from the South China Sea. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:Pyrosequencing...
