First description of archaeal communities in carbonate-rich seafloor and subseafloor sediments from the Southwestern Atlantic slope

Deep-sea sediments comprise one of the largest habitats on Earth. The archaeal groups contribute to a large fraction of the deep-sea benthic biomass, playing a key role in biogeochemical cycles. However, their diversity in deep-sea benthic ecosystems remains poorly understood, mostly because only r...
