Therefore, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to study the vertical stratification patterns of methanotrophs in two boreal lakes, Lake Kuivajarvi and Lake Lovojarvi. Furthermore, metagenomic analyses were performed to assess the genomic characteristics of methanotrophs in Lovojarvi and the previously studied Lake Alinen Mustajarvi. The methanotroph...
