Use of stable isotope probing to identify bacterial species involved in CO<sub>2</sub> fixation in the water just below the oxycline of the meromictic Lake Suigetsu, Japan
Abstract:Abstract:In this study, stable isotope probing was used to identify a bacterial community involved with bicarbonate fixation in the water just below the oxycline of the meromictic Lake Suigetsu, Japan. Water samples were incubated with 13 C-labeled bicarbonate under either light or dark conditions. The identity of active bicarbonate-fixing bacteria was revealed by 16S rRNA gene clone library analysis of 13 C-labeled DNA fractions. Bacterial clones closely related to the green sulfur bacterial genus Chlorobium … Show more
