Due to its extreme salinity and high Mg concentration the Dead Sea is characterized by a
very low density of cells most of which are Archaea. We discovered several underwater fresh …

We carried out a regional survey on the archaea composition from surface waters of> 300
high‐altitude P yrenean lakes (average altitude 2300 m, pH range 4.4–10.1) by 16 S r RNA …

Methanogenic microbial communities in soil and sediment function only when the
environment is inundated and anoxic. In contrast to submerged soils, desiccation of lake …

Microbial communities in freshwater sediments play an important role in organic matter
remineralization, contributing to biogeochemical cycles, nutrient release, and greenhouse …

In recent years, archaeal diversity surveys have received increasing attention. Brazil is a
country known for its natural diversity and variety of biomes, which makes it an interesting …

Although the richness of Bacteria and Fungi in Cerrado'soils has been reported, here we
report, for the first time, the archaeal community in Cerrado's soils. DNA extracted from soil of …

The Cerrado is a biome that corresponds to 24% of Brazil's territory. Only recently microbial
communities of this biome have been investigated. Here we describe for the first time the …

The genus Synechococcus is widespread in aquatic environments and is known to be
abundant in the Tucuruí Hydroelectric Power Station (HPS) reservoir, in eastern Brazilian …

This is the first report on the application of high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA
gene fragments for investigation of bacterioplankton diversity in two largest and relatively …

Our comprehension of the dynamics and diversity of freshwater planktonic bacterial
communities is far from complete concerning the Brazilian Amazonian region. Therefore …
