Microbial populations of Lascauxs Apse in relation to collembola and black stains on cave walls.

Sampling

In the Apse of Lascaux Cave (France), the microorganisms of black stains and unstained parts of wall cave were identified with Illumina technology using three genes markers of microbial diversity were analyzed, the 16S rRNA genes specific for bacteria, the 18S rRNA genes specific for micro-eukaryotes and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) specific for fungi.
