Amplicon sequencing of ice and water phytoplankton and bacterial communities during an extreme winter in a central Canadian great lake
Ice and water microbial communities from Lake Winnipeg were explored through V4 region 16S rRNA gene sequencing during a pronounced period of cold temperatures over North America's Great Plains and Great Lakes regions. Diatoms, cyanobacteria, and Xanthomonadales (Gammaproteobacteria) displayed patterns of partitioning into ice fractions.
