The seawater, it chills, affectthe currents andtemperatureeverywhere. Global warming risks the melting of the icecaps as it hasalreadyincreasedthe oceantemperatureby1C totheWestAntarcticpeninsula since 1955. A better understanding of the microbial com-munity in this extreme environment of utmost importance is of in-terest to the scientific community. Herein, we document ourmetagenomics analysis of the microbial diversity and abundance inthe Southern Ocean [Lat 5500330396 S; Lon 5500310448 E] using NextGeneration Sequencing (NGS), QIIME 1.9.1, Silvangs and a naïveBayesian classifier. Such metagenomics data hold the potential to aidpredictive analysis, which is critical to our understanding of the dy-namics of the microbial communities and their role in the SouthernOcean at present and in the future.©2019 The Authors.
