Microbial planktonic communities of freshwater environments from Tierra del Fuego: dominant trophic strategies in lakes with contrasting features

We analysed the structure of the microbial plankton communities of different types of freshwater environments from the southernmost region of South America (Tierra del Fuego). Water bodies were grouped in four categories: humic lakes, clear oligotrophic lakes, beaver ponds and steppe shallow lakes, which differed in their nutrient and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) contents. We tested if microbial planktonic communities were different among...
