Description
Summary:Westmeijer et al. employ high-throughput sequencing to investigate the connection between deep biosphere groundwaters and surface microbial communities. They suggest that the microbial communities of deep biosphere groundwaters in the Fennoscandian Shield are mostly comprised of autochthonous species, rather than migratory surface representatives.
