Seasonality impact on the diversity of the microbial community in the coastal waters of lake Baikal

The microbial communities of coastal waters in three recreational areas of the eastern coast of Lake Baikal in different seasons were studied. The "deep" diversity of the microbial community was determined by parallel sequencing. The major bakteria groups of Baikal coastal waters were characterized. The similarity of microbial diversity of coastal waters in three areas was found. Diversity of bacteria has seasonal clustering.
