From the Sunlit to the Aphotic Zone: Assembly Mechanisms and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Protistan-Bacterial Microbiotas in the Western Pacific Ocean

From the Sunlit to the Aphotic Zone: Assembly Mechanisms and Co-Occurrence Patterns of Protistan-Bacterial Microbiotas in the Western Pacific Ocean

ABSTRACT We know little about the assembly processes and association patterns of microbial communities below the photic zone. In marine pelagic systems, there are insufficient observational data regarding why and how the microbial assemblies and associations vary from photic to aphotic zones. In thi...
