The depth profiles of prokaryotic community compositions based on the SSU rRNA gene sequences in deep-sea surface sediments from the off-Tohoku location (water depth = 500 m). The numbers of the sequences analyzed at each sediment depth are shown in parentheses. The “other bacteria” and “other archaea” categories represent the bacterial and archaeal taxa, respectively, and share less than 2% of the total sequences. The “others” category represents eukaryota and unclassified sequences.
