| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When assessing bacterial diversity in the ocean using metabarcoding (MB) data, many MB sequences do not show any sequence similarities from previously known species that have been studied by the standard method incorporating laboratory culture. Since the ocean is home to a wide variety of bacteria, MB sequences are thought to encompass the bacteria new to science because they have never been cultured or difficult to culture in the laboratory. However, due to potential difficulties in experiments, even the bacterial diversity in the ocean predicted by MB methods does not adequately cover the true diversity of those with symbiotic relationships with eukaryotes. In this study, we aimed to sequence the genomes of bacteria with symbiotic relationships with a wide range of marine microeukaryotes. In particular, we succeeded in sequencing the genomes of the cyanobacteria symbiotically associated with dinoflagellates.
