Geochemical and microbial insights into vertical distributions of genetic potential of N-cycling processes in deep-sea sediments

The exploration of the deep-sea sedimentary microbial communities could reveal the diversity, composition, as well as biogeochemical relationships. The West Philippine Basin, the world’s largest marginal basin plate which surrounded by subduction boundaries, has special location and geological signi...
