Bacterial and archaeal diversity in geothermal spring water were investigated using 16S rRNA gene amplicon metagenomic sequencing. This revealed the dominance of Firmicutes, Aquificae, and the Deinococcus-Thermus group in this thermophilic environment. A number of sequences remained taxonomically unresolved, indicating the presence of potentially novel microbes in this unique habitat.
利用16S rRNA基因扩增子宏基因组测序技术对温泉水中的细菌和古菌多样性进行了研究。结果表明,在这种嗜热环境中,厚壁菌门、产水菌门和嗜热放线菌-栖热菌菌群占主导地位。许多序列在分类学上仍未得到解析,这表明在这个独特的栖息地存在潜在的新型微生物。
