Artificial neural network analysis of microbial diversity in the central and southern Adriatic Sea

Abstract Bacteria are an active and diverse component of pelagic communities. The identification of main factors governing microbial diversity and spatial distribution requires advanced mathematical analyses. Here, the bacterial community composition was analysed, along with a depth profile, in the...
