Recent molecular analyses of Leg 201 subsurface sediments show that microbial communities of deep marine sediments harbor members of distinct, uncultured bacterial and archaeal lineages, in addition to Gram-positive bacteria (Firmicutes and Actinobacteria), members of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides phylum, and Proteobacteria that are detected by cultivation surveys. Several of these subsurface lineages show cosmopolitan occurrence patterns; they can be found in cold marine sediments and in hydrothermal habitats, suggesting a continuous deep subsurface and hydrothermal biosphere. Some archaeal and bacterial lineages appear to be well-diversified generalists that occur in subsurface sediments as well as in a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
