Metagenomic analysis of an Iranian Hypersaline Lake microbial ecosystem
We studied microbial communities in three different stations of an Iranian Hypersaline Lake (Lake Meyghan). These stations are characterized by a salinity ranging from 5%, 20% to over 30% total salt and a slightly alkaline Ph range (from 7.7 to 8.8). The microbial communities are dominated by Archaea at higher salinity and by Bacteria at lower salinity.
