Metagenomic Analysis of Bacterial Communities of Antarctic Surface Snow

Metagenomic Analysis of Bacterial Communities of Antarctic Surface Snow

The diversity of bacteria present in surface snow around four Russian stations in Eastern Antarctica was studied by high throughput sequencing of amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments and shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Considerable class- and genus-level variation between the samples was revealed indic...
