Structural and functional insights from the metagenome of an acidic hot spring microbial planktonic community in the Colombian Andes.

Structural and functional insights from the metagenome of an acidic hot spring microbial planktonic community in the Colombian Andes.

A taxonomic and annotated functional description of microbial life was deduced from 53 Mb of metagenomic sequence retrieved from a planktonic fraction of the Neotropical high Andean (3,973 meters above sea level) acidic hot spring El Coquito (EC). A classification of unassembled metagenomic reads us...
