In this study, the authors have reported the diversity and phylogeny of putative diazotrophs in the three major OMZs of the Ocean, including ETNP, ETSP and Arabian Sea.By analysing the clone libraries of nifH gene fragments derived from DNA and RNA samples (787 sequences in total), the authors compared the putative diazotroph communities in surface, oxycline and oxygen depleted water of the three OMZs.Basically, my major concerns are the significance of the finding and validity of the approach in this study.It should be noted that the phylogenetic diversity of putative diazotrophs in these three major OMZs have been reported detailedly in previous studies (Jayakumar
