Functional diversity of microbial communities in pristine aquifers inferred by PLFA- and sequencing-based approaches
Microorganisms in groundwater play an important role in aquifer biogeochemical cycles and water quality. However, the mechanisms linking the functional diversity of microbial populations and the groundwater physico-chemistry are still not well understood due to the complexity of interactions between...
