Genome Announc. 2018 Jan 4;6(1):e01379-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01379-17.

Abstract

The Yamuna River is the backbone of domestic, irrigation, and industrial activities in Delhi, India, yet the complex dynamics of its microbes and their contribution to biogeochemical cycles in a polluted environment remain elusive. This is an introductory report describing the microbial community in the Yamuna River, using high-throughput metagenomics.
