High Microbial Diversity Despite Extremely Low Biomass in a Deep Karst Aquifer
Despite the importance of karst aquifers as a source of drinking water, little is known about the role of microorganisms in maintaining the quality of this water. One of the limitations in exploring the microbiology of these environments is access, which is usually limited to wells and surface sprin...
