Horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F cold seep, the South China Sea

Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes have been studied extensively. However, few studies investigated th...
