freshwater metagenome
Metagenome analysis of microbial assemblage (<0,22 um) of polluted and non-polluted rivers in western Cuba with the aim of analyze the influence of chemical and fecal contamination on bacterial community diversity. In the polluted river the predominant phylum were Proteobacteria (52,7%), Actinobacteria (24,6%), Bacteroidetes (17,5%), and Firmicutes (3,96%) and in the non-polluted river the predominant phylum were Actinobacteria (39,1%), Proteobacteria (30,9%), Cyanobacteria (18,9%), Bacteroidetes (5,1%), Firmicutes (3,6%) and Deinococcus-Thermus (1,1%). This study is very important for future bio-remediation actions in the polluted river (Almendares river) that is the most important stream in Havana city.
