In Lake Siggeforasjön, Sweden, a member of the Verrucomicrobia was found to be a large constituent of the bacteria in the hypolimnion, but not in the epilimnion. In a mesocosm experiment in the epilimnion, this particular Verrucomicrobia was favoured by increased phosphorus availability. The community composition of bacterioplankton was investigated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequencing of 16S rDNA.
