Seasonal Changes in Microbial Community Structure in Freshwater Stream Sediment in a North Carolina River Basin

Seasonal Changes in Microbial Community Structure in Freshwater Stream Sediment in a North Carolina River Basin

This study examined seasonal differences in microbial community structure in the sediment of three streams in North Carolina’s Neuse River Basin. Microbes that reside in sediment are at the base of the food chain and have a profound influence on the health of freshwater stream environments. Terminal...
