Abstract excerpt
The phylogenetic diversity of a sediment microbial community from two ponds having different salinities, 150-200 g/l (M2) and 250-300 g/l (TS38), of an Sfax (Tunisia) solar saltern, was investigated using 16S rRNA clone libraries. The 16S rRNA genes from 135 bacterial clones and 105 archaeal clones were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed. 32 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were generated for Bacteria and...
