Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this project is to clarify the biogeography and biodiversity of micro-organisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton by meta-genomic method using a high throughput sequencer. The metagenomic methods have established for bacteria, archaea, diatoms, haptophytes and calanoid copepods, which were ten-times faster than classical method such as microscopic one without effects of individual's skills and experiences. Using these methods for samples collected from wide areas of the Pacific, we found that phytoplankton and zooplankton were distributed along with the surface current system. However, bacteria and archaea were more effected by their life styles (free-living and attached).
