Abstract
ABSTRACT
Bacterial communities associated with sediment particles were examined using PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Particle size influenced community structure, with attached bacterial assemblages separating into 63- to 125-, 125- to 1,000-, and 1,000- to 2,000-μm fractions. Differences were particularly pronounced for the
Verrucomicrobia
-
Planctomycetes
, whose numbers were significantly reduced on coarser particles.
