Notes: JS-1 = Japan Sea-1 Candidate Division (Webster et al., 2004). Chloroflexi phylum synonymous with Green Non-Sulfur (GNS) bacterial division (Hugenholtz et al., 1998; Hugenholtz, 2002). In contrast to JS-1 and Chloroflexi clones, Proteobacterial clones are sometimes closely related to cultured species and strains. * = average of all depths. For Leg 190 Site 1176 Nankai Trough values, contaminant clones (E. coli, Acinetobacter, Aquaspirillum spp.) were excluded from analysis. † = alternate layers of pelagic clay and volcanic ash.
