Geothermal Mat Community Metagenome. microbial mat metagenome

In this study we have used both whole genome sequencing as well as V3 regions bacterial 16s rRNA sequencing to elucidate the structures and functions of a spatiotemporally-erratic geothermal 85 microbial mat community (GMMC) and correlated the community dynamics with the fluctuations in environment conditions.
