| Description: | This paper discusses research on archaeal abundance in the Sargasso Sea. Abstract: Archaea are a specific and separate domain of microbes with significant effects on the microbial community and nutrient cycles of the ocean. Archaea are commonly represented by two phyla, Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota. These microbes are found throughout the mesopelagic (200m-1000m) and bathypelagic (>1000m) areas in the Sargasso Sea. The archaea were collected on Bermuda Atlantic Time Series Validation cruises 45 and 46 to Puerto Rico. Archaea were enumerated using catalyzed reporter deposition fluorescence in situ hybridization (CARD-FISH). The results from BV 45 and BV 46 were lower than expected. Euryarchaeota averaged 3.6%±2.4% in the mesopelagic and averaged 5.9%±2.2% in the bathypelagic of the total DAPI count. Crenarchaeota averaged 3.7%±2.4% in the mesopelagic and averaged 5.1%±2.7% in the bathypelagic of the total DAPI count. |
