Diverse Bacterial Communities From Qaidam Basin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: Insights Into Variations in Bacterial Diversity Across Different Regions

The Qaidam Basin of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is a cold, hyper-arid desert that presents extreme challenges to microbial communities. As little is known about variations between surface and subsurface microbial communities, high-throughput DNA sequencing was used in this study to profile bacterial c...
