This study investigates the roles of dispersal, environmental and biotic filtration in bacterial assemblies, in order to understand the environmental influences in cryoconite ecosystems. Foxfonna dome
Deep sequencing of environmental DNA from surface microlayer obtained using polycarbonate membrane (depth= 33 micrometer), glass plate (depth=42 micrometer) and drum sampler (depth=35 micrometer). The
Deep-sequencing technologies are becoming nearly routine to describe microbial community composition in environmental samples. 18S rDNA pyrosequencing has revealed a vast diversity of infrequent seq
