16S rRNA Gene-Based Metagenomic Analysis of Ozark Cave Bacteria

16S rRNA Gene-Based Metagenomic Analysis of Ozark Cave Bacteria

The microbial diversity within cave ecosystems is largely unknown. Ozark caves maintain a year-round stable temperature (12–14 °C), but most parts of the caves experience complete darkness. The lack of sunlight and geological isolation from surface-energy inputs generate nutrient-poor conditions tha...
