metatranscriptomics

Metatranscriptomics-based investigation of bacterial community dynamics across a dissolved organic matter gradient in southern Lake Michigan

Using metatranscriptomics, this study investigated bacterioplankton gene expression in surface waters across a nearshore-to-offshore transect in Lake Michigan during 2017–2018. Results imply that offshore bacterial communities are more substrate-limited than in nearshore and are investing more energy in acquiring DOM substrates.
