Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Eukaryote Diversity and Activity in the Water Column of the South China Sea Based on DNA and RNA High Throughput Sequencing.
TL;DR: Light is shed on the diversity and activity of microbial eukaryotes in the water column of a tropical oligotrophic ocean and their potential contributions in the downward transportation of organic material from the surface ocean to the deep via the biological pump.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in community structure of active protistan assemblages from the lower Pearl River to coastal Waters of the South China Sea.
TL;DR: It was shown that the alpha diversity of protists, both in the freshwater and in the coastal SCS stations was higher than that in the estuary, indicating that salinity was the dominant factor among measured environmental parameters affecting protistan community composition and structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pigmented microbial eukaryotes fuel the deep sea carbon pool in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean
TL;DR: It was found that pigmented nano-sized eukaryotes (PNEs) are ubiquitous in the deep Western Pacific Ocean down to 5000 m depth and PNEs in deep waters were likely transported from surface ocean by various fast-sinking mechanisms, thus contributing to the biological pump and fuelling the deep-sea communities by supplying fresh organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeographical Distribution and Community Assembly of Active Protistan Assemblages Along an Estuary to a Basin Transect of the Northern South China Sea.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high throughput sequencing on the V9 hyper-variable regions of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) along an estuary to basin transect in the northern South China Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Contribution to the Diversity of the Anaerobic Genus Metopus (Ciliophora, Armophorea), With Descriptions of Three New Marine Species
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the Metopus is not monophyletic, and first revealed that all marine species of Metopus form a well-supported clade.
