Microbial Community Structure and Functional Potential Along a Hypersaline Gradient

Microbial Community Structure and Functional Potential Along a Hypersaline Gradient

Salinity is one of the strongest environmental drivers of microbial evolution and community composition. Here we aimed to determine the impact of salt concentrations (2.5, 7.5, and 33.2%) on the microbial community structure of reclaimed saltern ponds near San Francisco, California, and to discover...
