High-throughput sequencing and marker pigment analysis of freshwater phytoplankton : a direct comparison with microscopic count data in the tropical crater lakes of Western Uganda Universiteit Gent Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
High-throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) and photosynthetic marker-pigment analysis can provide cost-and time -efficient alternatives for morphology-based microscopic identification and counting of lacustrine phytoplankton. However, application of particularly HTS in tropical lakes is still uncommon. We analyzed the community composition of cyanobacterial and eukaryotic phytoplankton in relation to trophic status and other environ-mental factors in ...
