The biological basis of nitrogen fixation beyond the canonical role of Cyanobacteria is not well understood in freshwater ecosystems. To address this gap in knowledge, the main objective of this thesis is to study non-cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation in freshwater lakes and ponds. Microbial communities and diazotrophic potential were characterized by direct metagenome sequencing from seasonally stratified lakes and permafrost thaw ponds, both of which are systems featuring strong redox gradients. To quantify the nitrogen fixation process, we also adopted and applied a 15N tracer method to estimate realized diazotrophic activity in five of the studied lakes. Chemical characteristics were also measured concomitantly to link diazotroph distrib...
