	abstract = {The effects of increased mining of seafloor massive sulfide deposits on marine ecosystems have not been characterized. In this study, the impact of leaching metals from a hydrothermal sulfide on photosynthetic protist and cyanobacterial communities in marine environments was investigated by amplicon analyses of small subunit rDNA (SSU rDNA) and rRNA (SSU rRNA). Seawater samples collected from the Iheya North region and Suruga Bay, Japan, were incubated with or without a leachate containing zinc, copper, cadmium, and manganese, of the actual seafloor hydrothermal sulfide from the Hakurei site in the Izena Hole region. The relative abundances of prasinophytes, diatom protists, and the cyanobacteria Synechococcus decreased substantially during incubation with leachate, indicating the vulnerability of these lineages to the leachate. Phylogenetic analysis based on the cyanobacterial phycocyanin cpcBA/rpcBA operon obtained from samples incubated with or without leachate indicated that the individual lineages of Synechococcus can determine sensitivity to heavy metals in different marine regions as well as particular clades and ecotypes.},
