activities are regulated by environmental factors such as temperature and solar ultraviolet
radiation. Here we investigate changes in aquatic microbial community structure, diversity,
and evenness in response to changes in temperature and UV radiation. For this purpose, 15
mesocosms were seeded with both microbial mat communities and plankton from natural
pools within the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (Mexico). Clone libraries (16S rRNA) were obtained …
