The composition of planktonic eukaryotes in the size fraction 3-20 μm of 10 maritime Antarctic lakes was studied by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Microscopic observations were also carried out to compare the results obtained by this molecular fingerprinting technique with morpholog...
