RESUMO
The existence of the cluster of duplicated sit silicon transporter genes in the chromosome of the diatom Synedra acus subsp. radians was shown for the first time. Earlier, the localization of sit genes in the same chromosome and cluster formation caused by gene duplication was shown only for the marine raphid pennate diatom P. tricornutum. Only non-clustered sit genes were found in the genomes of other diatoms. It is reasonable to assume that sit tandem (sit-td) and sit triplet (sit-tri) genes of S. acus subsp. radians occurred as a result of gene duplication followed by divergence of gene copies.

High-throughput method of sequencing was applied to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of an araphid pennate diatom Synedra acus subsp. radians from Lake Baikal (East Siberia). The assembled genome has a total length of 98 Mbp, the mean coverage is 33x. Structure-functional annotation of the genome was performed.

Pyrosequencing of amplicons V3-V4 of the 16S rRNA gene of 30 samples from the photic layer across the three basins of Lake Baikal has revealed 44 958 sequences of the domain Bacteria. The most representative phylums among all classified sequences in the samples were Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Cyanobacteria. As much as 38.5% of the total number of sequences has been determined to the level of genus. The taxonomic composition of bacterial communities was similar regardless of some differences in the composition and abundance of spring phytoplankton. Closely related or identical sequences of bacteria inhabiting the epilimnion of other lakes worldwide have been discovered for most sequences. This confirms the similarity of microbial communities in freshwater ecosystems.
