The deep-sea represents a substantial portion of the biosphere and has major influence on carbon cycling global biogeochemistry. Benthic prokaryotes have crucial roles in this ecosystem, with their recycling organic matter from photic zone. Despite this, little is known about large-scale distribution surface sediments. To assess environmental trophic variables prokaryotes, we investigated prokaryotic assemblage composition (Bacteria to Archaea Euryarchaeota Crenarchaeota ratio) activity...
The environmental factors controlling the abundance of Bacteria and Archaea in lagoon ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, an integrated physico-chemical, biogeochemical, microbiological survey was applied Sacca di Goro (Po River Delta, Italy) to investigate variation bacterial archaeal abundance, as assessed by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, along winter summer gradients. We hypothesised that cells respond differentially physico-chemical parameters sediment, which can be manifested...
