Comparative analysis of microbial diversity in two hot springs of Bakreshwar, West Bengal, India. study of isolates from bakreshwar

Microbes generally exist in milieus of varying complexities and diversities. Attempting the usually employed cultivation-based techniques in experimentation with those microbes had confronted various limitations. To overcome these limitations a strategy based on high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicon analysis was employed for studying the differential diversity and the detailed nature of microbial population of the two hot springs of Bakreshwar (54 °C & 65 °C).
