Summary The distribution of archaeal amoA and 16S rRNA genes was evaluated in two marine‐derived, meromictic lakes in the Canadian High Arctic: Lake A and Lake C1 on the northern coast of Ellesmere Island. The amoA gene was recorded in both lakes, with highest copy numbers in the oxycline. Sequence...
