The percentage of total picoplankton identified as marine Crenarchaeota Group I was ∼ 5% in subsurface waters (100 m depth) and between 10% and 20% in the oxygen minimum layer (250–500 m) and deep waters [North East Atlantic Deep Water (NEADW) and Lower Deep Water (LDW), 2750–4800 m depth].

Thus, the relative contribution of marine Crenarchaeota Group I to deep‐water prokaryotic communities might be more variable than previous studies have suggested. This apparent variability in the contribution of marine Crenarchaeota Group I to total picoplankton abundance might be related to successions and ageing of deep‐water masses in the large‐scale meridional ocean circulation and possibly, the appearance of crenarchaeotal clusters other than the marine Crenarchaeota Group I in the (sub)tropical North Atlantic.
