The Challenger Deep is the deepest ocean on Earth. The present study investigated microbial community structures and geochemical cycles associated with the trench bottom sediments of the Challenger Deep, the Mariana Trench. The SSU rRNA gene communities found in trench bottom sediments were dominated by the bacteria Chloroflexi (SAR202 and other lineages), Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, "Ca. Marinimicrobia" (SAR406), and Gemmatimonadetes and by the archaeal α subgroup of MGI Thaumarchaeota and " ...[more]
