Culture independent study of microbial communities in hypersaline environments in a tropical solar saltern in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. This project aims to determine the diversity present using direct 16S rRNA amplification. A different diversity is expected due to the stable conditions year round which in turn may lead to identification of new species.Sampling Description
