Popis: Diversity of deep-sea foraminifera is commonly studied based on analysis of agglutinated and calcareous tests preserved in the dried sediment samples. Soft-walled and agglutinated monothalamous (single-chambered) foraminifera are usually ignored because they are poorly preserved and difficult to identify. Moreover, the assemblage examined is usually limited to sediment size fraction larger than 63 or 125 μm. To overcome these problems, we analysed the foraminiferal assemblage based on ribosomal DNA sequences amplified specifically from total DNA extracted from unsieved and fine fraction (
