Contrasting genomic properties of free-living and particle-attached microbial assemblages within a coastal ecosystem

Contrasting genomic properties of free-living and particle-attached microbial assemblages within a coastal ecosystem

The Columbia River (CR) is a powerful economic and environmental driver in the US Pacific Northwest. Microbial communities in the water column were analyzed from four diverse habitats: 1) an estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM); 2) a chlorophyll maximum of the river plume; 3) an upwelling-associated hy...
