16S rRNA gene survey of microbial communities in Winogradsky columns.

16S rRNA gene survey of microbial communities in Winogradsky columns.

A Winogradsky column is a clear glass or plastic column filled with enriched sediment. Over time, microbial communities in the sediment grow in a stratified ecosystem with an oxic top layer and anoxic sub-surface layers. Winogradsky columns have been used extensively to demonstrate microbial nutrien...
