Comprehensive comparison of taxonomic composition and metabolic functioning in oxygenic and anoxygenic microbial mats of Yellowstone hot springs

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Project type

Limited Scope

An important goal in microbial community ecology is linking metabolic functions with the taxa performing them. To this end, we have exploited well-studied Yellowstone hot spring phototrophic…
