Abstract excerpt
Surveys of 16S rRNA gene sequences derived from marine sediments have indicated that a widely distributed group of Gammaproteobacteria, named "JTB255-Marine Benthic Group" (now the candidate order Woeseiales), accounts for 1-22% of the retrieved sequences. Despite their ubiquity in seafloor communities, little is known about their distribution and specific ecological niches in the deep sea, which constitutes the...
