organism: freshwater metagenome
description: Samples for analysis were collected over 3 years at three stations located at different distances from the shoreline, in the littoral to the pelagic zones. Pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA V3 region and metagenomic analysis confirmed high diversity of bacteria in these communities, revealed differences in their taxonomic composition, and allowed identification of the taxa that were unique or common to all communities included in analysis.
