Ecology and Distribution of Thaumarchaea in the Deep Hypolimnion of Lake Maggiore

Table 1

CARD-FISH probes used for the analysis of prokaryotic community composition at 200 and 350 m depth in Lake Maggiore. For each probe, short name, target organisms, sequence, formamide concentration (formamide %), references, and probe accession number on probeBase are indicated. ^(a)Probe MGI-535 was specifically designed for this study, targeting Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaea.
