Description
Ana-Belen Martin-Cuadrado, Purificacion Lopez-Garcia, Juan-Carlos Alba and co-authors sampled the gene pool of the deep Mediterranean Sea, for PLOS ONE in 2007. Metagenomics reads DNA straight from the environment, revealing microbes that never grow in a lab. Most sea studies of this kind had focused on sunlit surface waters.
The deep Mediterranean is different: a warm bathypelagic habitat, far below the light. Reading its microbes shows what life does where food is scarce and pressure is high. Work of this sort keeps rewriting basic ideas in microbial ecology. It shows how much of the living world stays hidden until its DNA is read directly.
