High and specific diversity of protists in the deep-sea basins dominated by diplonemids, kinetoplastids, ciliates and foraminiferans
Alexandra Schoenle et al. use DNA metabarcoding and cultivation-based surveys of 11 regions in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans encompassing the bathyal, abyssal, and hadal zones to identify the role of deep-sea heterotrophic protists relative to other trophic levels. Their results demonstrate that p...
