  1. The metagenomes of ABP from the Atlantis II and DBP from Discovery brine pools were pyrosequenced in this study. CAM from the Gulf of California and MED from Mediterranean Sea are reference deep-sea water metagenomes. The classification results were summarized from the output of the RDP classifier using a confidence cutoff of 50%.
