Diel gene expression profiles of a phosphorus limited mountain lake using metatranscriptomics

In this study, we used metatranscriptomic sequencing to analyse day and night gene expression profiles of the bacterial planktonic assemblage from the phosphorus (P) limited Lake Llebreta (1620 m above sea level) in the Limnological Observatory of the Pyrenees (LOOP, Central Pyrenees). The goal of the study was to obtain clues about the ecological strategies of bacteria in a highly oligotrophic environment, particularly those related to processing P and energy capture.
