Deciphering the microbial communities of alkaline hot spring in Panamik, Ladakh, India using a high-throughput sequencing approach.

ABSTRACT: Due to their distinctive physicochemical characteristics, hot springs are extremely important. The whole genome metagenomic sequencing technology can be utilized to analyze the diverse microbial community that thrives in this habitat due to the particular selection pressure that prevails there. The current investigation emphasizes on culture-independent metagenomic study of the Panamik hot spring and its nearby areas from Ladakh, India. Based on different diversity indices, sequence analysis of the soil reservoir showed higher species richness and diversity in comparison to water and sediment samples. The mineral content and various physicochemical pameters like temperature, pH had an impact on the composition of the microbial community of the geothermal springs. The phyla Proteobacteria,
