Superimposed pristine limestone aquifers with marked hydrochemical differences exhibit distinct fungal communities

Superimposed pristine limestone aquifers with marked hydrochemical differences exhibit distinct fungal communities

Fungi are one important group of eukaryotic microorganisms in a diverse range of ecosystems, but their diversity in groundwater ecosystems is largely unknown. We used DNA-based pyro-tag sequencing of the fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA gene to investigate the presence and community str...
