In this paper, we conducted the functional analysis on seven samples of metagenomic data from different depth seawater in Hawaii. The results of gene prediction and function annotation indicate that there are large amounts of potential novel genes of which functions remain unknown at present. Based on the gene annotation, codon usage bias is studied on ribosomal protein-related genes and shows an evident influence by the marine extreme environment. Furthermore, focusing on the marine environmental differences such as light intensity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and pressure among various depths, comparative analysis is carried out on related genes and metabolic pathways. Thus, the understanding as well as new insights into the correlation between marine environment and microbes are proposed at molecular level. Therefore, the studies herein afford a clue to reveal the special living strategies of microbial community from sea surface to deep sea.展开更多
