Microbial community composition of lake sediment in the High Arctic
The holy grail of microbial ecology would be to know what species are present and active in a community, what functions they are performing, and at what point in time. In recent years it has become clear that environmental meta-omic approaches are essential to gain insight into microbial communities...
