"Paleo-ecological study of lake microbial diversity: Long-term dynamics of protists and cyanobacteria revealed by sedimentary DNA"

Lake ecosystems are impacted by environmental changes such as global warming and nutrients inputs which may alter the dynamics and the diversity of lake microorganisms. In order to evaluate the impact of these factors, we propose to reconstruct the past diversity of microbial taxa using DNA preserved in sediments by using massive sequencing (454 tag pyrosequencing, Illumina MiSeq)
