Comparative 16S rRNA analysis of lake bacterioplankton reveals globally distributed phylogenetic clusters including an abundant group of actinobacteria

Article Abstract:

Researchers have confirmed the global distribution of many lake bacterioplankton by analyzing the microbial communities in a lake in Russia, Germany, and Austria. Members of the alpha, beta, and gamma subclasses of Proteobacteria were represented, as were the Actinobacteria, which made up 63% of the bacterioplankton biomass in one lake.
