Metagenomics of Hediondilla hot temperature microbial mats
Hot springs present a variety of physicochemical and chemical characteristics that shape their microbial presence. The different possible combinations make the biodiversity at each site unique. Temperature is considered the most important variable associated with metabolic adaptations in microbial mat communities and water samples from hot springs. These environments have great biotechnological potential because the organisms present can grow at high temperatures thanks to their thermostable enzymes. In this study, microbial mats from Laguna Hediondilla/La Quinta in the province of Jujuy, Argentina, were analyzed.
