Characterization and variability of the prokaryotic community in sediments from Salar de Lagunilla, Northern Chile

ABSTRACT Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes was used to investigate the abundance of prokariotic community from the sediments of different sites and along a temporary-space scale from Salar de Lagunilla, a high-altitude athalassohaline wetland in the...
