Question
Chapter 19.11, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
The abundance of prokaryotic cells in the oceans is reduced with the depth. By using the FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) technology, the distribution of the Archaea and Bacteria with the depth has been tracked in pelagic waters. The species of Bacteria incline to predominate in the waters above 1000 m.
