Investigation of South African estuarine microbial species and genome diversity

Magister Scientiae - MSc === A study of the microbial diversity in sediments of the Great Berg River estuary is carried out using modern molecular phylogenetic methods. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of (pollution by) the effluents of the fish industry on the composition of the mi...
