An analysis of Sargasso Sea bacterioplankton diversity using 16S ribosomal RNA

The objective of this project was to use ribosomal RNA genes, cloned from natural populations of Sargasso Sea bacterioplankton, as markers for picoplankton diversity. It is widely recognised that a majority of microorganisms have yet to be cultivated, and therefore much of extant microbial diversity remains unknown (50). The method...
