The phylogenetic diversity of picocyanobacteria in seven alkaline lakes around the Tibetan Plateau was analyzed using the molecular marker 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequence. the plateau. Lakes with comparable salinities may have comparable genetic populations despite a large geographic distance. Canonical correspondence analysis identified salinity as the only environmental factor that may in part… Continue reading The phylogenetic diversity of picocyanobacteria in seven alkaline lakes around the
