[Analysis of Sulfate-Reducing and Sulfur-Oxidizing Prokaryote Community Structures in Marine Sediments with Different Sequencing Technologies].

Sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) and sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes (SOP) play vital roles in the sulfur cycle. The SRP community was used to represent a microbial community with high richness and diversity. The 454 pyrosequencing, Illumina high-throughput sequencing, and traditional clone library methods that target the dissimilatory sulfite reductase subunit gene (), which encodes a key enzyme in the sulfate reduction pathway, were used to compare the differences in SRP community characteristics.
