Abstract excerpt
The community structures and diversity of bacteria and archaea were investigated at 4 depths (1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 m) in permafrost sediments in the Tianshan Mountains, using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of 16S rRNA gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Phylogenetic analysis of the dominant bands sequenced revealed the presence of rich diversity of bacteria, which could be related to the...
