MIMS Environmental/Metagenome sample from Lake Baikal Metagenome
freshwater metagenome
Lake Baikal represents the deepest (1637 m) and largest fresh liquid water volume (23,000 km3) in Earth (20% of the unfrozen freshwater). This study describes the microbial communities of the Lake using high throughput sequencing. 30 L of water were filtered through the net (size 27 microns) and through nitrocellulose filters with a pore size of 0.22 microns. DNA was extracted from the 0.22 micron filter (small, planktonic fraction) filter to obtain genomic DNA of the microbial community.
