Composition and Activity of Microbial Communities along the Redox Gradient of an Alkaline, Hypersaline, Lake

We compared the composition of microbial communities obtained by sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons with taxonomy derived from metatranscriptomes from the same samples. Samples were collected from alkaline, hypersaline Mono Lake, California, USA at five depths that captured the major redox zones of...
