Benthic protists and fungi of Mediterranean deep hypsersaline anoxic basin redoxcline sediments

Some of the most extreme marine habitats known are the Mediterranean Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs; water depth ~3500m). Brines of DHABs are nearly saturated with salt, leading many to suspect they are uninhabitable for eukaryotes. While diverse bacterial and protistan communities are report...
