Very few studies have attempted to profile the microbial communities in air above freshwater bodies, such as lakes, even though sources are an important part of aquatic ecosystems and airborne bacteria most dispersible microorganisms on earth. In present study, we investigated waters two high mountain sub-alpine montane lakes-located 21 km apart with disparate trophic characteristics-and them. Although lakes had locational differences, their community compositions remained constant over time. However, bacterial were diverse displayed spatial temporal variance. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria dominant both different relative abundances between Parcubacteria (OD1) was samples for all sampling times, except two. We also identified certain shared taxa lake water it. The results obtained these study provide putative candidates how shape vice versa.
