Abstract excerpt
The diversity and distribution of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) was investigated in the Nankai Trough sediments of off-central Japan by exploring the diversity of a functional gene, dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsrAB). Bulk DNAs were extracted from five piston-cored samples (up to 4.5 m long) with 41 vertical sections, and full-length dsrABgene sequences (ca. 1.9 kb) were PCR amplified and cloned. A...
