[Prokaryotic microbial phylogenetic diversity of "Eryuan Niujie" hot spring in Yunnan province, China].
OBJECTIVE
We analyzed the prokaryotic microbial diversity of Eryuan Niujie hot spring, in Yunnan Province, to enrich our knowledge about thermo-stable microbes.


METHODS
We constructed bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene libraries, analyzed the sequences and constructed phylogenetic trees to learn the prokaryotic microbial diversity.


RESULTS
The majority of the prokaryotic microbes in this hot spring were bacteria, while beta-Proteobacteria was the most abundant, next were Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi; the abundance and diversity of archaea were both less than that of bacteria, including Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota, while Euryarchaeota was the most abundant.
