Qualitative and Quantitative Characteristics of the Soil Microbiome in the Impact Zone of the Kandalaksha Aluminum Smelter
Abstract: The prokaryotic and fungal biomass was estimated by luminescent microscopy; the number of ribosomal gene copies of microorganisms was determined by the real-time PCR method, and the taxonomic diversity of culturable micromycetes in Albic Podzols was studied along the pollution gradient (1....
