Patterns in the composition of microbial communities from a subtropical river: effects of environmental, spatial and temporal factors.

Microbes are key components of aquatic ecosystems and play crucial roles in global biogeochemical cycles. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of planktonic microbial community composition in riverine ecosystems are still poorly understood. In this study, we used denaturing gradient gel electrophore...
