9705523 Fuhrman This project is a continuation of a survey of marine microorganisms funded by DEB 9401110. During that study, three major groups (potentially at the phylum or class level) of archaea were discovered, as well as numerous examples of minor taxa. Many more new taxa are expected during the phase of the project funded by this award. It has become clear that the deep sea and coral reefs are two marine habitats that harbor many novel taxa. For that reason, this current project will concentrate on probing samples of sea water from these habitats with molecular tools (16s rRNA). The samples of sea water are provided very cost-effectively by other researchers who are conducting studies in the habitats of interest (primarily Indo-Pacific reefs). The results of this survey will provide baseline information on which to build analytical studies of the ecology, biogeography, and phylogeny of marine microorganisms.

9705523富尔曼该项目是DEB 9401110资助的海洋微生物调查的延续。在这项研究中，发现了古生菌的三个主要类群(可能在门或纲水平上)，以及许多小分类群的例子。在由该奖项资助的项目阶段，预计会有更多的新分类群。很明显，深海和珊瑚礁是两个海洋栖息地，拥有许多新的分类群。出于这个原因，目前的项目将集中在使用分子工具(16S RRNA)探测这些栖息地的海水样本。海水样本由在有关生境(主要是印度洋-太平洋珊瑚礁)进行研究的其他研究人员提供，非常具有成本效益。这项调查的结果将为建立海洋微生物的生态学、生物地理学和系统发育的分析研究提供基线信息。
