Bacterial Biogeography across the Amazon River-Ocean Continuum

Bacterial Biogeography across the Amazon River-Ocean Continuum

Spatial and temporal patterns in microbial biodiversity across the Amazon river-ocean continuum were investigated along ∼675 km of the lower Amazon River mainstem, in the Tapajós River tributary, and in the plume and coastal ocean during low and high river discharge using amplicon sequencing of 16S...
