This study describes the microbial communities of different lakes and reservoirs in Europe using high throughput metagenome sequencing. Water samples from different depths representing the epi- and hypolimnion were collected. Approximately 10L of water were pre-filtered through a plankton net (20 μm) and a 5-μm filter and then filtered onto filters with a pore size of 0.22 μm. DNA was extracted from the 0.22 μm (small, planktonic fraction) and 5 μm (large, particulate fraction) filters to obtain genomic DNA of the microbial community. The study also includes time-series metagenomes. Less...
