Molecular characterization of phototrophic microorganisms in the forefield of a receding glacier in the Swiss Alps
Recently deglaciated areas are ideal environments to study soil formation and primary microbial succession where phototrophic microorganisms may play a role as primary producers. The aim of our study was to investigate the cyanobacterial and green algal community composition in three different succe...
