Microbiomes of freshwater lake ecosystems

Abstract

cold environments,7‒10 acidic/alkaline soil,11,12 drought13‒15 and plant associated.16‒20 Microbes play central roles in regulating elemental cycles like carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. Lake is an area which is filled with water and surrounded by land. It is localized in a basin, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Microbiome varies among lakes with different environmental variables.
