Seasonal variation of snow microbial community structure in the East Rongbuk glacier, Mt Everest
The bacterial diversity and abundance in the snow of East Rongbuk glacier, Mt. Everest were examined through 16S rRNA gene clone library and flow cytometry approaches. In total, 35 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained, which belong to alpha, beta, gamma-Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, C...
