TL;DR
The study analyzed ice and water microbes in Lake Winnipeg during an extreme winter to understand community patterns.
Contribution
It reveals how specific microbes partition into ice during cold periods in a central Canadian lake.
Findings
Diatoms, cyanobacteria, and Xanthomonadales showed distinct partitioning into ice fractions.
Cold temperatures influenced microbial community distribution in Lake Winnipeg's ice and water.
Abstract
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.
