RuBisCO is the key enzyme catalyzing the first and major step of carbon fixation in Calvin cycle. With the aim to examine the phylogenetic diversity of RuBisCO genes, cbbL gene was amplified by PCR from three South China Sea deep-sea sample, cloned, and sequenced. A total of 28 OTUs deriving from 236 cbbL clones covered 16 phylotypes which all belong to Proteobacteria. The estimated coverage values showed that more than 85% of bacterial cbbL diversity was captured. Shannon and Simpson indices indicated a high diversity of the total cbbL gene in the SCS deep-sea sediments. In conclusion, microbial RuBisCO genes in the South China Sea display a broad range of phylogenetic diversity. The predominant group in these three deep-sea sediments included Thiobacillus and Thiorhodococcus, which was chemoautotrophic bacteria involving in Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The above results implicate that bacteria with the potential for carbon dioxide fixation and chemoautotrophy oocur in the South China Sea.
